The old black man that lived next to us here on the place blew himself out of the top of a hollow post oak tree when he was a kid, with a can of carbide and a mason jar of water. He was trying to run a coon out. Burned his face pretty bad. Held onto his dogs tail and he got him home! Famous story here in the creek bottom.
I do appreciate good light!

I can vaguely remember carbide+creativity wasn't too bad for fishing....

Yeah...all the new wazoo flashlights are skookum!
Don't know how many critters I gutted with a mini-mag flashlight in my mouth, but the rubber coated super bright Sure Fire types are NICE! Love me some flashlights. My latest is the single AAA LED Maglite. The incandescent ones are almost useless, but the new LED one is awesome, and cheap and light enough that you can afford to buy and carry a couple (cause old guys lose stuff). A little shrink-wrap tubing on the barrel makes holding them in your teeth easier.
What fresh Hell is this?

I won't watch those shows. Got tired of them in the 90s.
I do have a friend, that hunts with us, yes in TX, yes in stands because its a rule on the property we lease.... that I think doesn't wear camo socks or drawers..... but everything else...
Me, I wear whatever, jeans, carharts, whatever, some camo, some not.
I would still wear camo and face paint bowhunting out of a tree though, or some form of dull clothing broken up a bit. Just due to movement and cover the bright white face.
All the other stuff, its fun to make fun of it. None of it really hurts.
But a lot of it sure is nice to be able to buy for weather etc... just ordered a waterproof pack... for full on rainy day hunts. AK finally demanded that.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Not for nothing, I like the packs of today and the clothing. It was easy to hunt cold and wet when I was 20, because I was tough and stupid.
Now I'm just stupid. Point taken.....I just do go anymore when its nasty out....  So WTF is the big deal with shooting sticks? I know they are trying to sell them by product placement on TV but my Gawd they haul schitt up the hill better than my bench rest for testing loads... Yeah, we don't use them either, but we usually snip off a walking stick for balance here and there and sure know how to use it if needed.

I'm glad my forming years were spent hunting in Alaska. If it works there, it f*cking works anywhere.
Watched more than a few Yankees that you couldn't tell otherwise. They suffered for it.

The butt-out tool is pretty awesome. I like to shove it up my own ass when I am chilling out in the middle of the day, between morning and evening hunts.
It's exhilarating.
80% of chicks dig it too. God damn I just peed!!! Lmfao

Concerning the full size backpack with lots of loops...well these days I take a lot more pictures (certainly more field pics vs in the pickup bed pics) requiring camera and tripod to be with me, plus my SPOT device, more water, spotting scope, rain gear and game bags...plus room for quarters since I don't drag deer/antelope and for sure not elk unless they're uphill from a road and reasonably close.
A full size backpack (loops optional) simply makes me a better, more capable hunter than I was when I first started out. Chucker Chukar hunting, where I can hike well over 10 miles a day, sometimes close to 20, I can cram everything I need into my bird vest.
That was about as serious of a post as I will ever make. Fixt it for you. I couldn't help myself. Go sit on your butt-out tool. Auto "correct" suck it da' ballz.
