    Deer Fly Patches Tape

    The Deer Flies have been driving me nuts when running the dogs or just out hiking.

    Ordered some of these to take care of the issue.

    Seresto Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs, 8-Month Tick and Flea Control for Dogs

    I've been using the Seresto Collars for a number of years and have been really happy with them. I can run the dogs through the training fields all summer and rarely see a tick since switching to them. In the fall in the grouse woods I still hardly ever come across one.

    Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones



    Ok, so these are a bit different than my usual hunting items but I use these almost everyday when I walk my dogs. I can listen to music from my iPhone and even take a call if I have to. It makes the dog walks a lot more pleasant.

    NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000 Amp 12V UltraSafe Portable Lithium Car Battery Jump Starter Pack for Up to 6L Gasoline and 3L Diesel Engines



    I bought one of these the other day for a couple of reason. The first is that even though I have AAA and Roadside Assistance through my insurance I do hunt in a lot of places that can take a while to get to and I thought these might keep me from being stranded for a longer period of time. 

    The second is that it actually takes up less room in my travel box than the jumper cable did. Still hoping that I never have to use them.

    Wound Seal Stop Cuts From Bleeding



    I bought a 4 pack of Wound Seal after seeing an ad for it and threw it into my first aid kit that I have for my dogs.  One evening I was cutting open a package and my knife slipped and I sliced my index finder pretty deep.  I tried just using pressure and a towel and it wouldn't stop bleeding.  I went out to my truck and grabbed that Wound Seal package.  I ended up pouring 2 of the small containers onto the cut and it stopped bleeding.

    I ordered a pack of 4 kits each with 4 tubes of seal.  I put a couple in the kit that I carry into the woods, a pack in our home kit, and then refilled the kit I keep in the truck.  Hopefully I won't have to use it but it works well.

    Mud River The Renegade Water Bowl



    Mud River The Renegade Water Bowl
    There isn't anything fancy about these dog bowls but they do hold up well and also roll up easily.

    I use the orange ones so that I can find them in the grass after I've used them to water the dogs.

    SOF Sole Insoles

    I have had a really bad case of plantar fasciitis in the past.  It got so bad that I had to quit hunting for a period of time.  I tried a couple of different inserts for my hunting boots and came across the SOF Sole products.  These worked so well that I was able to return hunting.  I have replaced all of the insoles that came with my various hunting boots with these.  I use them in all of my footwear products, even my slippers.

    Mud River Sporting Dog Chest Protector


    These are newer products from Mud River.
    I've been using these since this spring and really like them.

    They use a heavier nylon material than most of the other brands that used to be in the market.  They also have larger areas of velcro for holding the protectors in place.
