All depends on what type of hunt and where. But short story is always prepared. If it’s a still hunt with lots of glassing then I take more layers because sitting still is bloody cold. If on the move a lot stalking then I need less layers. I always have my rain jacket.
I like lists! After getting it wrong so many times, I try to cover most bases on long day hunts in the bush.
What I wear:
• Cap
• Long sleeve
• Shorts
• Pants
• Gators
• Socks
• Boots
What I carry in addition:
• Buff
• Gloves
• Down jacket
• Goretex jacket
• Fleece trousers
Might seem a bit excessive, but it all folds down pretty small. More camouflage and warmth for those situations where you're sat still waiting for animals to come out of the bush, and I'd rather have it for the unplanned overnighter. Also, gloves are great protection against sand flies!
Put it this way if you don’t have it ya can’t wear it
I get cold quick so I’m like Boosh here and take a bit.
Then if it goes pair shaped or I score one on the walk out I’m under not pressure to get out.
I’d rather cuddle up under a log than bust an ankle, leg stumbling around in the dark.
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
Merino t shirt ,kuiu pants,Solomon boots most of the time,...down jacket ,swazi that anorak ,possum/merino beanie and a buff in the day bag.
