Grabber Warmers

Everyday air-activated hand, toe, foot and body warmers to keep you warm whether you’re enjoying outdoor activities, at work, or relaxing indoors. Grabber has the head-to-toe solution to keep you toasty and comfortable, no matter the temperature. All Grabber Warmers are designed for one-time, disposable use.

On Target - Portable heat in the palm of your hand. How can you beat that? The Grabber Warmers really last and the heat is almost instant. There great for us hardcore bowhunters who stick it out in the coldest of elements. I’ll side with anything that will help keep me in the woods a couple hours longer than the other guy.
Off Target - I have one flaw in the warmers. The foot warmers say that they can be worn under the toes or above the toes in your boot. I suggest you put them on top. A buddy of mine wore them underneath his toes and one of the packets busted. He now has black sock tips everytime he takes off his boot. He’s tried everthing to clean it out and it still lingers. Other than that, They’ll keep you toasty.

Frogg Toggs New Pro Action suit

Frogg Toggs products are constructed with a patented process of three layers of polypropylene material with a center layer of microporous film. Because the pores are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, moisture cannot penetrate. Also, our patented seaming process eliminates needle holes and possible water entry.

Patented fabric keeps you cool even when your zipped up watertight, body vapors escape while wind and rain stay out, entire suit weighs less than 1 pound, and best of all you can pack it just about anywhere.

On Target - As Borat would say, “Very Nice”!

I just got back from shark and tarpon fishing the Keys and thank goodness I had my trusty Frogg Togg suit on board. The second day we got caught in a horrific down pour while fishing about an hour out. I was the only one with a Frogg Togg suit and it wasn’t going cheap. Needless to say the next day all the other guys had suits but as it always happens there was no rain. I will continue to carry the suit with me on all my trips. It’s small enough to not take up space yet important enough that it wouldn’t matter.

Off Target - As Borat would say, “Not so much”.

Not so much noise that is. The Frogg Togg suit is made to keep you dry and that’s what it does. The suit is perfect for just about anything except on a misty day in November. Your 27 foot high in a tree in Illinois and a 180 is closing the distance. Bow in hand and the wind in your favor. Is the suit on or off? I personally wouldn’t be wearing it. Now on a hard rain in rifle season, a mild rainy duck hunt, or a drizzling fly-fishing trip I’ll definitely be sporting one.

ThermaCell’s Mosquito Repellent System

Time in the field no longer has to include swatting bugs or messing with smelly sprays, greasy lotions or cumbersome netting. ThermaCELL®, the unique butane-operated mosquito repellent system, is the perfect hunting companion—small, portable and highly-effective, and it fits nicely into a pack or vest pocket.

ThermaCELL creates an odorless 15 x 15-foot comfort zone, which offers up to 98% effective protection against mosquitoes and other biting insects. With the click of a button, ThermaCELL is on and repelling insects. The complete comfort zone is created in under 10 minutes.

On Target- I don’t know about you but I hate nagging mosquitoes and those little tiny black biting flies. Nothing ruins a hunt more than to have those suckers flying in your eyes or ears while your trying to be still. When I first heard of the ThermaCell system I was a little skeptical because of several reasons; I thought there had to be an odor, what’s one going to cost, and that’s all I need is one more thing to add to my hunting arsenal. Well, I was surprised all around. I won’t go spring bear hunting or turkey hunting without one. They work and I think you’ll be surprised too. Next time you have one of those afternoon spring cookouts I suggest you set a ThermaCell system on your picnic table.

Off Target- While trying to pick this unit apart and find one thing that stuck out was stressful. I mean trying to find something wrong with a device that detours mosquitoes just feels wrong. I have come down to this. If your like me you probably carry to much in the woods anyway, what’s one more thing going to matter, right? OK, then you won’t have a problem strapping this unit that measures 7.5″x3″x1.5x at the top and 7.5″x1.5″x1.5″ at the bottom to your hip. That’s all I’m saying.

Wolverine’s Canyon-High Goretex hunting boot

These boots provide ultimate Protection for the serious Outdoorsman. Wolverine boots are made to withstand the harshest conditions and keep your feet warm and dry all day.  Canyon-High boots feature Waterproof Nubuck leather with nylon upper, a breathable GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane lining, removable full-cushion insole, compression molded EVA foam midsole with camo wrap, Wolverine® Rubber Lug outsole, cement construction and a lightweight nylon shank that fights fatigue.

On target – I believe in being comfortable whether it’s the bow you shoot or the boots on your feet.  I’ve tried a lot of the boots out there, from inexpensive to top of the line, and I’ve found that pricier doesn’t always necessarily mean better.  This is one case where it does.  These are not your $60 local store-hunting boots that will last you a season at best. These are boots made for the long haul. And when they do wear out, several years down the road, you’ll want another pair just like them.  Trust me.

Off target – These boots are 10-inch high, but not all 10 inches are waterproof. There’s a flap that connects to the tongue mid way where they stop being waterproof.   Other than that, these boots are solid.

Check out their full line-up at www.wolverine.com
