After my binocular a really good sling. Design preference varies on those.

A Leatherman tool. I live with one on my belt. It's solved many an issue.

Haversack. Everything I need in there. Flashlight, knife, multi-tool, space blanket, match safe, binoculars, gloves and stocking cap, snacks. Way more better I like than a back pack. Carried low on the hip balances the rifle on the right.

LIke 1 Minute, I have a Leatherman that lives on my belt. A Nikon rangefinder rides in one shirt pocket and Nikon digital camera in the other.

Next to the rifle, I would have to say my favorite item of hunting gear is my custom skinning knife.

I always carry a silk scarf. Get a chill in the morning, wrap it around your neck, snow in the scope, and you have something smooth to wipe it out with. Or cotton. I call it a Handy-Bandandy: neckerchief, bandage, towel, pot holder, 'rope', TP (one-time use), nose rag, hat tie-down, bag, water strainer, ear warmer, ...

Other than your gun, what's your favorite (or most useful) piece of hunting equipment? The more uncommon the better....
I'm looking for ideas on things I might not have and/or might need...
Thanks in advance... Besides my compass I'd say a GPS Unit.... CLB

Cattle obstetrical gloves.
You know the ones that will go right up to your arm pits.
Nothing worse than going for breakfast after a first light kill, and having to wash up in the resturant washroom, with blood running into the sink with other patrons coming and going and gawking like your an axe murderer or something.
Just remember.

Hard to choose just one. Things that come to mind are binoculars , knife, compass-gps, map, & camera.

A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.

Dirty socks, if I'm trying to make a drive with just a couple of standers. I've seen deer turned where I wanted them by throwing a few dirty socks in a some strategic places.

Marbles "Sport" drop-point skinning knife - bought it in 2003 and it has become my hands-down favorite. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/JD_Bruce_20_OCT_09.jpg)

I could probably kill them with a couple pairs of dirty underwear....... Seriously, only reason you'll ever see my socks laying around the woods is if I run out of TP. Please leave them where you found them. <G>
