Any hunter who has spent enough time afield has come to the point where you are tracking game in low light, or no light situations. This past deer season I shot a doe out in the middle of an expansive corn stubble field. Although I knew the direction and how far my shot was, this doe seemed to elude my view. If you’ve spent any time in a stubble field you know that the stocks are almost the same color as the deer you are pursuing, depending on how tall those stocks are cut off, anything below them can be hard to see. When you add in low light, they can be hard to find. So, I went and retrieved my Leupold LTO-Quest Thermal handheld and within minutes of employing its help, I was able to detect the heat signature from the doe and recover her immediately.

Don’t you hate it when you open up a brand-new bag of potato chips and find that it’s only, at best, half full. What a disappointment. All that air is misleading, and your bag does not runneth over! However, Cabela’s Bass Buckets aren’t going to deceive you – they’re chalk full of enough soft plastics to keep you fishing all season long!

Sometimes the best things comes in small packages with small price tags and that’s the case with Cabela’s Watertight Utility Boxes. What’s better than gear that is not only useful, but doesn’t break the bank. At no more than $10 for a 2-pack, these handy utility boxes are no brainers. The most obvious use for these utility boxes is of course to keep your fishing gear organized and protected. We’ve all seen someone with a tackle box that looks like the family cat got in there and played. It’s not only a mess, but a hazard, as well. One wrong move and all the sudden you’ve got a circle hook imbedded in your palm. It pays to be organized and it’s simple with these customizable boxes.

I really like outdoor gear that can pull double duty - it can meet my hunting/camping/outdoor needs, but it can also serve a utilitarian purpose. Gear like this is not only functional, but more affordable, as well, because you get more use out of it which can better justify the purchase to begin with. A portable generator definitely fits this criteria. Last week I unboxed and assembled the Cabela's Outdoorsman 3800/4750-Watt Remote Start Generator and tucked it under the bench in my shop where I was going to let it sit until l had time to break it in and get it ready for its first expedition into the outdoors. Little did I know that Mother Nature had some serious plans with severe weather and I'd be needing that generator sooner than I anticipated.
