Primos Double Bull Surroundview 360 Blind
While ground blinds offer hunters a significant advantage by concealing them from a wary buck’s eyesight, their downside is a lack of hunter visibility. Primos’ new Double Bull Surroundview 360 ground blind eliminates this problem. There are no longer any blind spots. The camo fabric is dotted with thousands of very small holes that provide exclusive one-way see-through walls that give the hunter 360 degrees of visibility, while they remain totally hidden from the exterior. Its exclusive Power Hub design requires less force and aligns rods for a tighter fabric and easier set up than any other hub hunter blind. It can be set up in a mere seven seconds. It offers a removable interior curtain, no wind flap, silent side closure, 180-degree front shooting window, five shoot-through ports, and Truth camo that is especially designed to hide ground blinds in all terrain. At 60 by 60 by 70 inches, it is roomy for either bow or gun hunters. It is constructed with Double Bull legendary materials and, at 23 pounds, it is readily portable.

Cooltugs Classic Drying Coat
Whether you are at the end of a hunt, training session or dog walk and your best pal is soaking wet, the immediate question arises, “How do you protect my vehicle, home and dog bedding from the unwanted transfer of moisture, mud and the smell of a wet dog?” Cooltugs Classic Drying Coat is the answer. It is made out of two layers of absorbent toweling that wicks away the moisture, as well as providing a comfortable and cozy warming coat for your dog during the dry off. No longer will you have a shivering dog, unwanted odour or face those endless rub downs with towels that end up smelling worse than your dog. All you have to do is slip the coat over your wet dog, fasten it around their belly and neck with easy-to-use Velcro fasteners and you are done. In the heat, just wet it down and it becomes a cooling agent or, alternately, in the winter a warming coat. They are available in a host of sizes from XXXS (one to three-kilogram dogs) to GMD (80-plus-kilogram dogs) and in a variety of colours.
