I feel like I have experienced a boom and now bust in the gear I like to take in the woods. When out in wyoming where the views are long and the walks are longer, I used to pack a rangefinder, spotting scope, shooting sticks, bean bag, binoculars, and so on for a hunt. I have recently started to realized that I seem to be more successful and lighter on my feet when I carry less gear. From my gaudy long range set up I have transition to a classic remington 600 in 308 with a pencil barrel and mcmillan edge stock, 12 to 7 pounds just like that. It seems like a set of 10x range finding binoculars would further allow me to simplify my kit. So how about it, any of you use any of the many versions out there? Got any thoughts on "less is more?"
