We're running a series of product "Quick Looks" this summer. Each product preview focuses on a single category, ranging from a Quick Look at new archery equipment to another previewing a few new blinds and treestands for 2018.
But as we've been selecting products, we've found these fantastic and useful tools that don't exactly fit into any single category. So, with that in mind, today's post zeros in on miscellaneous and awesome hunting products. Here they are.
The Slay Bag
The Slay Bag, made in the USA, is a unique hunting bag made from special military grade vinyl that makes it easier to drag your deer to keep it clean and protected. The Slay Bag has a 2-inch wide adjustable pull strap that allows it to be dragged by hand or, for hands-free pulling, across your body. It has an easy-access hook-and-loop strip across the top and down the full center line for simple loading and unloading, along with buckle straps for more security. An added handle at the bottom also helps with loading. The Slay Bag rinses out easily and will lasts more than one season. MSRP: $114.99 Info: www.TheSlayBag.com

Eloo
Infrastructure can cost thousands of dollars. Running water lines, sewage lines, electricity, etc., etc., takes time and money - lots and lots of money. Now there is an alternative for utilities in remote or newly-developed areas, or places where people want control of their utilities. In a remote or off-the-grid situation, those alternatives are: solar panels for electricity, rainwater harvest for water and the Enviro Loo (Eloo) for sanitation.
The scenario of the country acreage is not the only off-the-grid facility that can use the Eloo - there are many, many, other scenarios - for all kinds of situations. What about people that just want a few acres for the privacy - to escape the hassle and aggravation of our lives today? What about those that are preppers? What about artists or writers or homesteaders or anybody? SWSLoo can help you with an Eloo and the other utilities that you need to get free from some of the hassle. MSRP: Varies Info: www.swsloo.com
Happy Jack Tonekote
Happy Jack Tonekote is liquid food supplement for dogs and puppies to improve dry skin, dull coat and reduce excessive shedding. These symptoms could indicate that your dog needs more essential fatty acids and vitamins that promote healthy skin and lustrous coat. Your dog’s body can’t make these key nutrients, so it’s important they’re included in his diet. Tonekote is a food supplement rich in Linoleic Acid, an essential fatty acid. Tonekote also provides Vitamins A, D and E, all vital ingredients for healthy skin and coat. Simply add Tonekote to your dog’s food. MSRP $15 Info: www.HappyJackInc.com

Because of the special design they’re always ready without the need for any on-off switches or adjustments. Just put them in your ears and you’re protected.
