Must Have Tools For Your Waterfowl Hunting Blind Bag
There are many essential tools when it comes to waterfowl hunting. Here is a list of essential items for your next hunt. You might not use them all the time, but they come in handy in sticky situations.
- Multi-Tools: Having a sharp knife, flat-nose pliers, a wire stripper, scissors, screwdrivers, a saw, and a bottle opener all in one tool helps you cut and repair easily. Its compact and lightweight structure makes it a great add-on.
- Paper Clips: While this may seem odd, paper clips are useful for a variety of tasks, from binding things together, to fire starters in an emergency situation or even holding back a flap in a blind.
- First-Aid Kit for You and Your Dog: Having a basic first-aid kit for yourself and your dog may save the day. Carrying small items like tweezers, toilet paper, antibacterial gel, gauges, and EMT gel can keep the injured safe until you get to the hospital.
- Zip Ties: From stringing a decoy rig to brushing, repairing, binding, or fixing other gears, zip ties are one of the best accessories.
- Gun Cleaner: A gun malfunction can happen anytime. Having Rem Oil will easily fix your gun problems. Your buddies and your dog will thank you for carrying it in your blind bag.
- Jerk String: Drop the miniature anchor and attach up to 4 decoys on the snap swivels and string the 100-ft cord to your boat or a blind. This rig can easily create water commotion when the wind is light, and the water is still.
- Electrical Tape: From repairing a broken wire to fixing a loose rib on a shotgun, electrical tape has many applications for hunters.
- Brush Cutters: Having a small brush cutter will help you save energy and time while cutting additional brush from your surroundings.
- Waterproof Box: Safeguard your gadgets and batteries in a waterproof box. This will help you to keep them safe from getting damaged or wet.
- Extra Gloves & Hat: Wet gloves can lead to frozen fingers. Hats get soaked in perspiration during long walks. Hunt comfortably in insulated and fresh gear.
