Christmas Gifts for Habitat Managers

[jvanhees]

What are some good gifts for the Habitat Manager? My wife wants to know and I am curious if I am missing anything

If you or the person you are buying for doesn't have a high-definition aerial map of their hunting property that would be nice. One large enough to hang on the wall.

Those are nice, but I've noticed they can change an awful lot in a year's time. A pole saw is what I'm hinting around for.

A chainsaw, a backup chainsaw, and a backup chainsaw for the backup chainsaw.

A drip torch for prescribed burns would be cool.

Weed mat material and caging is something that is spendy and I could always use more of.

I second the saws and weed mat/caging material. More trail cams are always nice for me, along with batteries and sd cards

Silky hand saws come in handy hunting and working.

I'll agree as well about the saw. You can grab a Stihl MS170 for less then $200. I find it you change out the 16" bar to a 12" roller bar and the larger 3/8th chain it makes a mean little hinge cutting machine

Pre-paid line of credit at Welters.

Hard to beat a pole saw. I use mine for shooting lanes and trimming along the field edges.

Now that I am older and spoiled, I'm looking for a heater body suit.

My wife bought gift certificates to my favorite tree nursery for me last year

A chainsaw, a backup chainsaw, and a backup chainsaw for the backup chainsaw.

And some young buck to work said chainsaws!!!. Actually since my sons schedule is so screwed with kids and work anymore, I just ask for my birthday and Christmas to have a couple days he and I hang at the farm, perhaps doing work, perhaps just nothing. Been great present last couple years.

 

[jvanhees]

Great info guys. I want to add chainsaw safety items like chaps & a helmet.

 

[TreeDaddy]

Ditto above

They are a must

I tend to simply tell folks that I need a gift card to the local farm retail store. For me that is Rural King...I can get seed, chemicals, fertilizer, cage material, saw chains and oil, pruning equipment, game cams, mineral blocks, tree stands, guns and ammo and all sorts of good stuff....come spring I can even get fruit and chestnut trees!

Now I could do some damage with those...

Saw chaps, helmet and 2 lb mallet hammer n wedges for chainsaw use. Went 30 yrs without using them. Now like a seat belt...don't crank saw without em. Gave em for Christmas last year to the boys. The hard plastic wedges come in handy more than you can imagine. If you've got all that stuff then consider a lithium battery pole saw. Got one this past summer - Oregon brand. Love that thing. Beast of a saw.
