[QUOTE="dluehrs, post: 2269112, member: 115673"] Typically a hunter will change clothes twice on a 7 day trip. Plan on clothing that you can layer easily; choose your clothing for comfort and fit. Break-in any footwear prior to your trip and bring a sleeping bag that is rated for low temperatures. Every year we hear of sore, blistered feet from new boots and of sleepless nights because someone’s sleeping bag wasn’t warm enough! But, oddly enough, we never hear of anyone not bringing enough clothing! All gear should be packed in soft duffel bags as these are best for packing in on mules; two smaller duffel bags are better than one large bulky one. Ideally, duffel bags should be around 16” to 30”. Army duffel bags work great!! CLOTHING: [LIST] [*]Heavy jacket-water resistant [*]Light jacket- water resistant [*]Rain/snow gear [*]Sweater [*]Insulated vest [*]Good, well-fitting hunting boots –waterproof, broke-in [*]Underwear [*]Pants (2-3 pair) [*]Hat and/or cap [*]Gloves-lined and unlined (1 pair each) [*]Wool and cotton socks [*]Handkerchiefs [*]Long Johns (2 pair) [*]Wool or flannel shirt [*]Shirts (2-3) [*]Fleece stocking cap (for sleeping) [/LIST] [LIST] [*]GEAR: Hunting license and Hunter Safety Card [*]Good quality sleeping bag rated for cold temperatures [*]Ammunition [*]Binoculars [*]Sunglasses [*]Chapstick [*]Canteen or water bottle (we highly recommend water bottles with a built-in filtration system) [*]Any needed medications [*]Small back-pack or fanny pack [*]Pillow [*]Weapon of choice .308 [*]Hunting knife [*]Toilet paper [*]Water-proof matches and lighter [*]Small towel and wash cloth/baby wipes [*]Camera [*]Toiletries [*]Flashlight (with new batteries) [*]Compass, GPS, Range Finder [*]Sunscreen [*]500 square inches of blaze orange-vest and hat (orange camouflage is not accepted) [*]NOTE: Be sure to sight in your rifle before arriving for your hunt.
