This is a list of gear i take with me when at foxes in ireland,

2)torch and spare batteries

3)fibreglass handled spade shovel

4)grafter shovel

5)4' crowbar

6)FOLDING SHOVEL

7)12g semi-auto

8)sharp knife

9)first aid kit for me and dog, detol

10)thick gloves

obviously i take bags and wet weather gear too

and yes before you ask i near forgot to say a terrier as well.(currently running my uncles russell, my terrier is too young)

Anyone using different kit? and is there a reason for doing so?

Im happy with the set up i use.

are ya sure your goin hunting and not takin on the taliban? john rambo would be proud of that gear

wat ya want the gloves for

[irishnut 297]

the gear stays in the landy at all times, along with a chainsaw and bill hook, i use alot of the same kit when tidying up around the farm

the more kit you have the more you can use, in tricky spots

sounder79 i suppose you just use a soup spoon and the force.

as for the gloves, if you have never been bitten by a fox, keep it that way by wearing gloves, i use them to get fox outta hole

[all.rounder 3]

you forgot about the pack horse 2carry all that gear,

[irishnut 297]

you are all saying i bring too much, i idea of me asking the question was to find out what everyone else brings, if its less gear, what is it then, what would be your bare essentials,

some of the stuff i've listed isn't essential, but gets the job done no fuss

[desertdog 149]

[goldfinch2007 2,331]

[wink hound 0]

gloves and poles. is there no skills left anymore. ive seen more people bitten when using gloves than any other way, its nonsense.

[Liamboy 1,266]

Bringin all that gears fine if you have the luxury of drivin round in a jeep to check earths.But if like me you have to do it the hard way on foot every ounce counts so you keep it to minimum, T-bar,small shoulder bag with folding spade,folding saw,fox nets and small water bottle inside.Collar on the dog and locator in pocket all you need facin a 5 to 10 mile hike. a.t.b Burrowman.

where did you get the folding spade from and is it a quality bit of kit?

[jack crowley 5]

any one of them small folding shovels werent worth the wank,better of getting a proper one
