Grivel plume twin wire gate biners.
Thats funny I love those biners.
The Ohm tether locker was such a letdown for me. With 10 seconds of product testing you could see that the whole thing will slip through biners.

Mantis torture device
Windwalker, problem was expectations, I had it built up in my mind it was the ideal treestand, and I did not love it enough to embark on the many mods it needed to work well
Jim Stepps way too fiddly
Some pair of expensive Kenetrek boots I got as a gift, felt like I was walking on short stilts
Utah elk points I'm now 11 years into playing that stupid game and the goalline keeps getting farther away
Camera arm no idea why I bought one
I could easily see why people hate those. They’re an acquired taste for sure. I love them for portability on state land and (for me) ease of use. Not sure why but I’ve never had an issue with them once I got used to them.Oh boy… this could be a very long list…
Wild Edge Stepps…. Wild Edge should of never rebranded the Jim Stepp. Belongs in the trash where they found it.
I've heard great things about the bullpac frame. I like that they have an attachment for your ALICE pack.Bullpac backpack. Not that it’s bad, it’s in fact built like a tank. I just have never used it. I bought it 20 years ago after an elk hunt thinking I would use it next elk hunt and I’ve never been back, probably never will. I let a guy borrow it to use on a caribou hunt and he said it was amazing. I’ll have to take his word for it.
Too many to list, but if we are all honest with ourselves, 90-95% of the latest and greatest products we buy to make us better hunters are either all hype or do nothing to actually help us harvest more or bigger animals. The best ones for me usually improve comfort in some manner.
I took the daypack off and have my Alice pack attached now.I've heard great things about the bullpac frame. I like that they have an attachment for your ALICE pack.
Probably the fastest item I've bought and sold.Oh boy… this could be a very long list…

Hawk mini lockon (whatever that thing is called).
I’m sure I’m going to get burned for this one. But I was not impressed with the quality of the Tethrd predator XL. Didn’t even get it on a tree. I’m sure it would have worked fine. I like the design of it. But the quality of the metal and parts is a serious let down for me for all the hype and support this thing gets. I cannot believe the post that comes warped well over 1/4” to one side is acceptable quality control. Just couldn’t get past that. I was quite suspect of the quality before buying and (for me) I was right. Bummer.

Agreed. Buying new and shiny mousetraps is easier then getting out and scouting or practicing with the equipment that you already own. You can make hunting as simple or as complex and expensive as you want. I'm guilty of the buy and purge cycle. I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. I start questioning whether some people actually hunt or they just like buying and selling things in the classifieds.
