Gear list—Comprehensive Compilation
A back-country pack after a successful harvest
-Hunting pack- I suggest an external framed pinnacle pack from Barneys Sports Chalet (extra pack clips)
-Waterproof watch with alarm clock
-Binoculars (8×32-10×42)
-Spotting Scope (20×40-60) and tripod.
-Shamoi cloth or binocular cloth(sportsmen has these near optic section)
-Rifle(30.06Rem or equivalent will do the trick- 300Rem mag)10-15 ammo
-or bow Dozen Arrows.
-Water proof sealable bag to enclose all gear within pack and prevent gear from getting bloody as your hunt will be success full with proper diligence.
-Clothes:Pack in layers. 1 Goretex or similar rain jacket. 1 fleece jacket. 1 pull over half zip. 1-2 long johns(I recommend 1 set underarmor). I Polyproalene, or spandex/nylon/polyester/lycra mix long sleeve. 1x Mamut champ pants orlycra spandex mix (dry as you walk and in wind). 1 under armor t-shirt base layer. 2-3x Marino wool socks. All clothes depend upon length of hunt. This list will generally get you through 1 week of hell and back…minimum. All clothes will dry just slip of your rain jacket and sleep in your sleep bag with wet under layers and socks, trust me they will dry. NO COTTON, ahah don’t kid yourself.
