Everything in my pack and my pack. Same thing on my body. BUT, I am glad.

 

[SHTF]

Thats why I do Scouting trips. Gives me some good ideas on what I need to adjust or sell and buy.

 

[sanchomaes]

Yep scouting trips certainly help you get organized and realize what you need or do not need in the "kit".

Rod-
How do you like the Zebralight??

 

[Rick Leathley]

After my last scouting trip I want to give a light weight tarp and bivy a go.

 

[shaun]

Don't even want to think about it

 

[Daniel_M]

Always something. I'm blessed with a partner who equally appreciates top end gear!

Just pulled the trigger on a Stone Glacier Soloist.

I'm sure that you need something... just remember it before you head north...

 

[rodney482]

It will be my primary light. The Petzl will be a backup.

This site has been nearly as rough on my bank account as getting hooked on bowhunting in the first place! That said, besides optics I now rock extremely nice gear.

Man, I have upgraded to a Coleman tent/lantern combo, Jansport backpack, cut the handle off my toothbrush, picked up a 50 degree bag from wal-mart, an Oneida Golden Eagle with Cabelas Game getter arrows tipped with Rocky Mountain heads, Georgia Boot Company hikers, cotton clothing up the WAZOO, frogg toggs, a space blanket and a small piece of tyvek!

Don't forget all of your Coghlans gear.

I did forget one thing...

My Tasco spotter.

 

[switchback270]

Just picked up a pair of the kennetrek terranes with gaiters off of camofire. Kind of an impulse buy that I hope I don't regret lol.

 

[orionsbrother]

What's wrong with my chunk of Tyvek? It's only got a little paint on it.

Last fall I was all set for my southeastern whitetail hunting. 3 climbers , 6 lock ons , a tower , 6 feeders , and 8 cameras. Enough sets of cheap cotton clothes to change twice a day for 7 days. A camper with ac , hot water , shower , heat , and a queen bed. Some danners and even some wool base layers. Totally burned out and bored.
This year , all new. Kifaru DT1 , Sawtooth and medium stove , Lowa Tibets and Hanwag Yukons , 3 sets of merino base layers , bunch of wool socks , couple frist lite llanos , brunton solo eta stove , Columbia Asender jacket , merino wool heavy icebreaker sweater , exped ul9 synmat , tigoat bivy , or gaiters , marmot Durago pant , Winchester m70 ss classic 7mm wsm , merino gloves , reloading supplies for 7mm wsm , mountain house for 21 days , Brunton Eterna binoculars and 50mm spotter , goretex mil suplus rain gear.There's more but I can't remember right now.
Still buying. Scope , sleeping bag , two more pants , 3 shirts , range finder and anything else I need but can't remember now.
Just added a used 25º ee quilt so I'm going for a colder rated mummy bag also.
