Hunting Gifts

Basic gear that every hunter should have to make every hunting adventure safe and comfortable.

Hunting Knife
Outside of your firearm or weapon a well made hunting knife is at the top of my list for must haves in hunting gear. Hunting knives are available in a wide range of brands and styles. Choose a knife that fits your individual needs. Many hunters carry more than one knife, usually a larger fixed blade hunting knife for big game and survival use and a folding pocket knife for smaller tasks.

Hunting Clothing
Comfortable and highly functional outdoor clothing that will protect you from the elements and keep you warm and dry. Hunting coat or jacket, hunting overalls, thermal underwear for cold weather use, hunting hat, gloves for hunting, hunting socks and hunting boots suitable for the terrain and weather.

Pocket Lighter and Fire Starters
If you hunt in remote areas or spend extended periods outdoors a dependable way of starting a fire if needed is an absolute must. There are times when your clothing becomes wet or you may become lost that a fire is necessary. Waterproof matches and a small pocket lighter and a small amount of paper come in handy for starting fires. If you find yourself in a survival situation outdoors being able to start a fire when needed can save your life. I personally carry a Zippo pocket lighter, a small Bic butane lighter and waterproof matches at all times.

Canteens and Water Bottles
Hunters that walk long distances can become dehydrated very quickly. Canteens and water bottles provide you with an excellent way to stay hydrated. Remeber that a person can live weeks without food but only a number of days without water.

Trail Foods for Hunters
Spending time in the outdoors can make you work up quite an appetite. I found that carrying a small amount of beef jerky or a couple of power energy bars can do wonders for those hunger pains.
