Anything to stock up on before stuff get more expensive, or not available for awhile?

Alot of AG basics like seed n fertilizer I believe is doemstic or can be sourced other countries? Imagine alot of hunting accesories like calls, shooting sticks, and clothing might be effected this fall. I got 2 or 3 extra treestands, but I think most are made in the usa due to bulk.

What I do foresee is getting repair parts for vehicles like cars n tractors. Might want to get ahead of fixing something you need this fall.
 
I guess I’d say trail cams ? Maybe ladder stands … I’ve never researched where the parts come from .
 
Having just bought a pack of new tips for my spray rig, if you can find them cheap, I would stock up. Wow!

A lot of fertilizer comes from Canada
 
Wonder about tractor repair parts and name brand filters, etc. Tho...most of that is Japan and S. Korean made.....some is china and India.
 
Most trees stands made in china. A lot of clothing, ground blinds, hunting seats - a LOT of hunting and fishing stuff
 
I was considering pulling the trigger on a few more Cuddeback Camera's. Which country are they made in??
 
Besides food plottin, I would look over your vehicles well. Do any work on them sooner than later. Alot of old US part names have sources in chna.

They were always famous for the "Designed and Engineered in the USA, made globally" label or something like that.
 
Cuddeback camera components made in china.
 
I’ve been wearing the same hunting clothes for 15 plus years. If the cost of my arrows, broadheads and rubber boots double I’m still hunting.

And if you’re stupid like me you already have enough fishing gear to last a lifetime.

Yep!
I just did some math... my boots are 36yrs old (give or take a couple of yrs), I have no plans on replacing them anytime soon.
 
What kind of boot u guys own. I go through a pair of rubber and a pair of leather every year and a pair of waders ever 3 years.
 
Bill made this new hook rig on a thin fin on lake michigan yesterday after a 20 pound king bent a 3x treble.

My boots are military surplus "Micky Mouse" boots. I've heard people say they'd only use them as stand boots, but I get around in them just fine.
 
What do you fish for cat I have other rigs.
 
Without the front hook you get way more bait action and the siwash single really looks like a tail moving back and forth behind the bait

The only rigs I use that have trembles are bass lures. But in general pond fishing for bass and crappie (weedless is always good). Also quite a bit of catfishing in rivers and streams. Always good to learn something new.
 
Here is a fly rig I tie. Single octopus hook followed by treble hook. This hook rig is amazing
