Hmmm, I don't really have much at all on that list. But I'd probably like to have all of it someday!
There's no "hunting heritage" in my family; I'm pretty much it, having started this with some old high school friends. I have to learn, and consequently equip, myself based on what I learn from books, magazines, the Internet, and trial and error.
I own a cell phone, and it has gotten me out of some trouble before; in the city. But where I hunt in Arizona, there's no coverage, so there's no sense in carrying it. I'm not a slave to camo fashion, mainly because I hunt in the desert, and hardly anybody makes a desert pattern worth a darn. So it's military surplus for me, and that suits me fine.
I won't misrepreset my situation; I'm not rich, but I'm not poor, either. So I don't have a Landrover, but I do have an F250 that's paid for. I didn't have anybody hand down an heirloom hunting rifle that's been in the family for 50 years; I did some research, and than bought a top-of-the-line weapon, with top-of-the-line glass.
If your point is the equipment doesn't make the hunter, your point is taken well, but truthfully, I don't think you'd find anybody saying the opposite, now, have you? Truth is, I'm NOT that good at this game, but I certainly don't blame my lack of an ATV or 20X scope on that. I'm learning. While my hunting genes/experience are not extensive, I think my fieldcraft skills are high. I spent eight years in the Infantry, and am "old school" (old soldier?) when it comes to certain things. Many of the folks walking around with GPS don't know how to read a map to save their lives; of course that applies to many folks who don't have one, either. And I don't own night vision, either; I think you should learn to see in the dark
My security is absolutely in my own personal confidence and knowledge, gadgets or not.
Spaceage food! I think the greatest part of hunting is cooking over the campfire, especially a big juicy steak!
The one "gadget" that I and my buddies use are radios, however. Quite frankly, this is a safety issue. Rarely are we in a position to set up a stalk or anything like that; rather, there is great piece of mind in knowing where everybody's at, and that the are O.K..
You seem to combine the "security" issue with these new-fangled gadgets with the slob hunting issue, as if to suggest there's a bunch of folks who would not be out in the woods otherwise, and consequently hunting. Of this, I am skeptical. I think they'd be out there anyway. They always have been. It takes time to accumulate these things, and I think they are people who love the outdoors, regardless if these things existed. Personally, I've seen the most bizarre fieldcraft, and even unethical hunting, performed by the people who do not have these things.
