Might catch hell for this one, but how about the plastic push stick box turkey call? Sounds like finger nails to a chalkboard.. 

Knight & Hale fighting purr system.
Say what you will, but I've seen many a thunder chicken lured in to his demise by them. If you didn't have one strapped to your guns forearm then you were missing out.
I remember watching the VHS tape that came with the calls when I was 9 or 10

Hey I got a pair of these I still use. When it gets down to the late season and 5 degrees out and two feet of snow they are almost worth how heavy they are!!

I had a red and black plaid Woolrich long coat as well. very warm, wish I still had them. But in a driving rain I bet the bibs and coat had to weight 150# when they finally soaked through...lol

There is nothing that works as well as wool!

You are right I have not ever heard of that beer., if it is "Woolrich" it has to be good!

[The_Real_TCIII]

How does a Delaware brewer come up with that beer?! And more importantly where can I get some?

Electric socks are still out there.....I know guys who still swear by them.

Thermocell has battery powered insoles but reviews are not good. The concept is sound, it should be easy to make an effective one.

My SG charcoal army  camo coat and pants...made every thing I wore under them blk. until I washed all the charcoal out of them...the whole out fit 28 bucks. Now I still wear them in cold weather because they are warm as all get out...lol

I wear my great grandfather's woolrich still. Not sure on exact circa but the woolrich tag design dates it to around 1930s. Actually have a picture of him wearing it when he hunted the ADKs.

My old Bear Super Kodiak recurve, sent off to Cabelas to purchase it back in the late sixties when they were still just mail  order. Started out shooting Port Orford cedar arrows then fiberglass and on to Easton aluminum. Don't really bowhunt much any more, got rid of all the compounds but I still enjoy shooting the old Bear recurve at my target setup in the back yard. Actually got to meet Fred Bear at a Shot Show back in the late seventies.

I wish I had the cabelas catalogs from 20-25 years ago just to look through, it would be a hoot

[airedale]

Speaking of catalogs one of my all time favorites was the old "Herters", entertaining as well as informative I spent many a day drooling over the stuff for sale in them.

My beam balance powder scale is a Herter's along with some of my other reloading accessories that I still use.

It was an entertaining catalog to read, with extensive write-ups on HERTER'S products and how wonderful they were.

I had a 1966 Herter's catalog too, but, like many other things  I lost track of it after my divorce.

There is no way that I could list all the crap that I have bought over the years. I have drawers full of sights, arrow rests, releases, stabilizers,  finger-guards, arm guards and all kinds of gizmos and go-fasters. I also have a wall full of bows (11 of them) that were all high end bows in their day. Also, I have an assortment of arrows that I cannot get both of my hands around. We're talking thousands of dollars. I used to be one to chase every fad going. Then one day I realized that the first compound that I ever owned had taken more deer than any of the bows that followed. The old Bear Whitetail Hunter with wheels everywhere and eccentrics and steel cable and those heavy old indestructible epoxy limbs that you could use as a pry-bar, actually killed more deer and just as dead as any of the abandoned bows hanging on the wall that I bought after the fever began and I started thinking I could buy guarantees.....lol. I put an end to buying archery equipment since then but I can't bring myself to throw out any of the trinkets that fill those drawers. They're all are memory joggers of the glory-years of my bow-hunting and shooting.

My first compound was the Bear Whitetail Hunter ..... really liked that bow at the time and was successful with it. Not sure what happened to it.
