NO BREAK SAFETY SYSTEM
The Avery No Break Safety System is designed for training and hunting with waterfowl dogs. This system is designed to ensure your retriever remains steady while waiting to be released for a retrieve, thus keeping the dog safe and under control without being right beside it. The No Break Controller unit securely mounts to fixed objects or an accessory post that screws into the ground and uses a short tether lead that connects to your dog’s collar. Once set up, your dog cannot lurch forward or run until you release it with the remote control. Such a system is ideal for one-person training. For example, you can leave your dog on “place” while you set out distant bumpers for retrieval. It can also be used to help enforce the hold command and teache your dog patience. The units also shine in hunting situations where dogs may get a little too anxious and break before all the shooting is done.

FARM TO FEET SOCKS
Feet can take a beating while enjoying the outdoors and I am always on the lookout for socks to help make my feet better after a day of hiking, wearing waders or standing on the ice. In recent times, I have discovered Ely socks from Farm to Feet. These are high-performance mid-calf merino wool socks designed for outdoor enthusiasts. They are ideal for hunting and fishing applications as they wick moisture from your feet and help regulate the temperature of your feet and toes so they are always comfortable. These socks feature natural antibacterial properties prevent odour from building up and have seamless toe comfort. They have full cushion support which is great when walking long distances while hunting deer and upland game birds. They also shine while being worn in waders. Bottom line: I find these socks super comfortable, non-itchy and my feet never get hot or cold.

SLIM MINI UV FLASHLIGHT
The SLIM Mini UV Flashlight from Nebo seamlessly transitions between UV and white light modes eliminating the need to carry multiple flashlights. The dual UVA (Ultraviolet A) Technology simplifies authentication, detection, and inspection tasks while the 150-lumen COB LED flashlight provides bright white light helping you see clearly. This tiny and ultra-thin flashlight fits comfortably in your hand and thanks to a low-profile clip it can be attached to the brim of a baseball cap or secured in a pocket. It has a magnetic base to free up your hands and is constructed with a durable aluminum housing making it both impact and water-resistant. And with USB C rechargeability, you can fully charge it in just an hour. On white light, there’s both a dim and a bright setting. While I like the UV light setting on this flashlight for activating glow-in-the-dark fishing lures, the UV light can also be used for detection of pet urine, inspection of auto leaks with UV dyes and cleaning inspections.
