Cheap Stuff that Works

[cologsx]

This thread has been great so far and I'm only on page 56. There was a lot of people mentioning Taco Bell hot sauce packets in the early days. I like to get my Cholula hot sauce packets from Qdoba!

The Dexter Russel 3.5" Vegetable Utility Knife is worth a look if you're looking for an absolutely awesome, lightweight, SHARP blade in the 3-4" range. It weighs 1.7oz(listed weight) and costs 10-20$ depending when/where you purchase it. The blade is thin, so don't use it for hacking and prying, just slicing. Theres a sheath available for another 10$ made by Dexter. This gets my two thumbs up. Thing is an absolute razor blade.

These ae easy to sharpen too

Some good glove options on sale at Costco

$23.99 for two pairs on insulated Mechanix gloves with good dexterity



$19.99 for 3 pairs of uninsulated work gloves. I like wearing these in rough country when it’s warmer out

I’ve only spent a week in it, but the Teton Sports -35 bag has been great. Got down to 10-12 degrees the coldest night and was more than warm enough in some thin base layers and a stocking cap. No idea how cold you could actually take it, but plenty colder than I did. It’s absolutely gigantic, I’m 6’ 200lbs and could fit a second of me in the bag, plus it weighs like 17 lbs, but for a truck camp where you want to be comfortable and don’t care about weight/size its fantastic.

Paracord. I use it for pull up rope for getting weapon in deer stand. Made a tree loop to hang backpack and bow on tree. Made my gps lanyard with it. Replace loud metal zipper pulls with it. It's almost as handy as duct tape or WD-40, which are also cheap and versatile.

hornady lock and load ball it’s 15 bucks and makes a pretty good way to have an extended bolt handle it just slips on and is on very snuggley

I second the cheap fillet knife for quartering an animal. Nowadays I carry a few different lightweight knives to quarter an animal, but when I first started, I just used a 15 dollar walmart fillet knife and as long as you kept it sharp it did the job well. I really like a long fillet knife for gutting an animal, can really reach in there to clean out the vitals when its all a bloody mess.

Photon micro II light (makes a great backpacking tent lantern and can just replace a zipper pull)

Love these things as a hunting jacket zipper pull as it's always there. They also make them with a red bulb:

M65 Pants Liner for $13 on eBay. They are a poor man’s glassing puffer pants.

This is amazing because puffer pants are crazy expensive.

100% can confirm a waffle top from any surplus store or clothing sale is a great option. My work one gets worn around 9 months a year. I'm going into year 5 with the same one. I use them as my hunting, fishing, just everything mid layer.

Yeah second that. If you look at the tags inside I'm pretty sure it says Polartec which is the same fabric all the big fancy brands are made of.

And they're made in USA and their steel is pretty bomber.

This is a great substitute for a Sitka Jetsteam made by Columbia. I own both and would give it a very close second place for wind/weather at a fraction of the price:

Men’s Ascender™ Hooded Softshell Jacket | Columbia Sportswear

A wind and water resistant softshell jacket that's rugged and warm with a great fit and fine-tuned details.

Even cheaper if you buy it on one of those used clothing apps or thrift it.

looks similar to the 240 Kuiu peloton which is 169 on their website. This will be another great option at a much less cost.

Mine came today in sage green. It’s unbeatable at less than $30. I wore it outside I. 45 degree weather over a T-shirt and it is warm. I ordered another. Later this over a mid weight merino sweater and it will drive off a cold morning no problem.

I need to find a cheap puffy pant like that. I've looked and haven't found any generic puffy pant like the jackets on that site and Amazon.

Under Armour has some puffy pants on sale in their outlet right now for about $90. I've also seen a few options on Amazon for around $50-60. I haven't used any of them but there are some options out there.
