MoraKniv- I love my Mora utility knife, Takes an insane edge, comes in a ton of colors, and for $12.00 it's a steal. And it's made in Sweden.
Gerber is an Oregon, USA, company, but I don't know where their STL knife is made. Rapala is a Finnish company, I think. Again, not sure where their light, wood-handled fillet knives are made.And it's time for the wet blanket, and forgive me if this was already mentioned, but how much of this cheap stuff that works comes from China?
We gotta get off of our addiction of buying stuff from them.
Not being holier than thou. I have lots of Chinese crap. But I now think twice about what I buy. Time to wean.

The prussiks are genius!This is the gear hanger I'm going with this year. In the past I have used a Amsteel daisy chain that I girth hitch to the tree and weight with my pack (which serves double duty as my knee pad). The issue I've had in the past is that I need to have the pack on the daisy chain for it to support the weight of the bow. That means I have to lower the bow before I put my pack on or take my pack off my back before I can bring up my bow.
I decided to try the Cable Cuff as advertised by the always resourceful @always89y ($1.25 at Home Depot).
Easy, cheap compact bow hanger
Thought I would share. 1. Getcha a $1.25 "Cable Cuff" (I like medium) for the Home Depot 2. Take off the hook 3. Run a gear tie through the hole Excellent gear hook, easy to see, packs great and can hang on your gear strap, branch or anything else. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalksaddlehunter.com
To attach I simply ran a length of paracord through the eye where the screw was removed. To that paracord I added two paracord prusiks, one to provide the adjustable girth hitch using a keychain carabiner and the other to support my pack which has another keychain carabiner on the handle loop.
The pluses: Small and light, Cinches to the tree without needing to be weighted, Provides an infinite adjustment for my pack height (daisy chain sometimes was either just slightly too low of slightly to height), plastic hook is quiet, CHEAP and Simple.
The minus: I need to remember to hook the keychain carabiner through both prusiks so they don't unravel and fall off when not in use.

I like this a lot. How about running a small (and maybe stealth stripped) biner on each prussic so you dont have to worry about rehooking them both. It looks like you already have a second one to attach your pack anywayThis is the gear hanger I'm going with this year.

Also what’s your secret to keep a mora from rusting?
Never been able to get it to work correctly. Went back to the chemical hand warmers. Welcome to any tips.A Zippo hand warmer is priceless imo, it gets hotter than those chemical ones
They are a bit of a PITA, make sure they are full of fluid and lit, what problem were you having?Never been able to get it to work correctly. Went back to the chemical hand warmers. Welcome to any tips.

not really, it smelled slightly like fluid, but it wasnt ever bad for me. are you over filling it?Did you ever have a problem with the smell? I got one for Christmas and it worked great but smelled like fuel.

i tend to only put 8hrs of fluid from the little measuring thing instead of the full 12hrs, knowing i wont be out for more than like 4-5 if its that cold out that i need it. I also keep my hand warmers inside of my hand muff, so it hides the smell a bit in there too.
I usually use my hat, then a glove or two, then proceed from there. Great idea on the TP.Toilet paper. Greatest tracking aid ever invented. Also serves other purposes.
