Strangler Chokes delivers the kind of performance that a “Serious Hunter” deserves to have. Extensive test results, have proven that Strangler delivers 30% Denser Patterns with up to 25% Better Penetration, than any other choke tube. These chokes are ideal for Duck Hunters, Turkey Hunters, and Deer Hunters.


The Helly Hanson IMPERTECH Jacket is a bulletproof piece of Rainwear. I wore it recently on a Wyoming elk hunt. The soft polyester knit backing and elastic polyurethane coating gives the IMPERTECH a built in stretch factor of 200%. The waterproof outer coating is impervious to rain, resistant abrasion and is virtually noiseless. Its lightweight and disperses perspiration moisture, which eliminates the need for a separate lining. It’s currently on sale for $59. A real bargain for such gear!


Kelly Kettle is one of the most reliable, ultra fast cooking tools that I’ve ever seen. It works with any fuel: sticks, dry grass or pine cones; and will boil water in just 3-5 minutes, regardless of weather conditions. The Kelly Kettle is essentially a double walled chimney with the water contained in the walls. It comes in three different sizes and are priced from $64 to $79.
