Under $10 must have

[TRICER]

Alright if you had to pick one item under $10 that you wouldn’t hunt without what would it be? You can only pick one.
I have a few that come to mind but the one that I would not hunt without is my wind checker. The best of which is smoke in a bottle. I actually keep one in my harness and an extra in my pack just in case I lose one.

Moccasin Joe Smoke in a Bottle Wind Checker-1.5 oz

Ok like you I have a few things but I will just add one. A lighter just incase something happened It can make heat for warmth and light and smoke it can boil water if needed cook with and the list goes on for well under $10

I think you are right Drew, scent is the most basic of things that puts you out of the game. I use chalk line chalk refills from the local hardware stores to refill my scent bottles but charcoal ash works even better if you have the spare time to load it. I hunted years ago with a guy that used charcoal ash captured in cheese cloth. He would shake it and be good to go. It was messy but but worked very well. It smelled like the local stuff and even when it went the wrong way the animals did not spook. Also I know a person who was a career hot shot fire fighter who now is taking care of my kennel cleaning wise every day and she observed that when they did controlled burns the animals were attracted to it and would roll in the ash to suffocate the fleas and ticks to get them off. Hunters would come and ask her where the burns were happening that year so that they could set up on those areas and hunt. She also told me that once the pattern was established the deer and elk would stick to it for years. There's everyone's big secret for the year I learned and you may have never known otherwise..

I like the charcoal idea thanks. Smith has to be more natural smell then chalk for sure.

Backpack hunts I carry a small ICS (in case shit) kit loaded with $10 and under goodies... one-handed tourniquet, tape, zip ties, lighter, super glue, etc.

I like zip ties..helpful for putting together blinds and even hanging trail cams. You can even reuse them.

Toilet paper.... I have a roll on every backpack, turkey vest, duffel bag, in the truck... You don't want to be caught without it. I even saved the day for a friend once...
