I am planning my first elk hunt for November of 2019. It will be in the Flat Tops Wilderness . It is being set up as a day hunt, using horses, and returning to base camp each evening, Elevation to hunt is expected to be around 9,000 feet but weather could change that plan. Being from the southeast and having no experience in this type of environment - concerned about staying warm. I would appreciate feedback on clothing and other recommendations you guys would make.
Planning to use :
Base Layer Cabela's E.C.W.C.S light and medium weight, top and bottom - also have heavy weight top
Mid Layer Ultra Merion 210 , Patagonia Fleece (CONSIDERING ADDING PELOTON 200?)
Insulation CONSIDERING ADDING Kenai Ultra Hooded for active, Using Cabela Wooltimate Jacket for Glassing , Pnuma Insulated Pants
Outer Top (weather dependent ) Bottom - Kuiu Guide Pants, Also have Light weight Cabela Performance Pants
Rain Kuiu Yukon top - Kuiu light weight bottom
Feet Meindel uninsulated boots, Muck Boots, Kuiu Yukon Gaiters, Mid weight socks , (Heavy wool with Muck Boots)
Head Stormy Kromer Cap, Beanie, Merio 145 neck gaiter
Gloves Ulta Merino 210 glove, Yukon glove, (CONSIDERING ADDING Glassing Glomitt)
Vest Orange Safety vest - caps and Beanie also in blaze orange
Do I have enough to be warm, any thoughts on the Kenai Ultra or Peleton - other thoughts ?
Any feedback is sincerely appreciated.
