Items or products you don't hunt without.

Well for years I carried a pair of nikon 28 which were pretty small, left out in a ice storm and ruined them, put my big pair on and hated them, to big got in the way shouldering rifle, bit the bullet got another pair of small nikons. Scopes suck but the binoculars seem good unless you abuse them
 
Cell phones/cameras are an excellent addition. I take so many sunrise and sunset photos it's almost shameful. The cameras never truly capture the full glory of it, but I can't help myself. I've been keeping a journal for a few years and taking random photos while hunting for quite a while because I want to be able to look back and match up the memories and experiences when I'm, God willing, 90ish.

Some of my favorite pictures don't even look that good. Take this guy. November 30th, 2024. The most active day I've ever experienced on our property. This was the fourth buck to appear to chase the same hot doe that evening. I took the picture because he looked right at me and just ignored me. Saw me move and everything. Just didn't care, drooled, grunted, and trotted after the doe. Terrible picture, but an amazing evening. Glad I had my phone.

Isn't it crazy how a pic or even video does not do justice to the actual thing you're taking the pic or video of. But I take pics a lot myself. Just so I can look back.
 
The cameras on the newer I Phones are great plus hookling up to a satellite to text when no service exists gives my wife peace of mind.
You can hook to a satellite with the new or newer I phones if you don't have reception? Couple places I hunt has no reception at all. And I'd like to have a little contact with all the folks at camp and at home is why I'm asking.
