[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 528909, member: 30902"] Wet weather and cold weather gear, lots and lots of socks and at least a half dozen pairs of gloves of differing weights. You also need at least two-three sets of boots for the same reason. If you are backpacking it in and the weather turns cold and wet, cold/wet feet can get you killed. Also good first aid gear with a focus on blisters. Break your boots in WELL at least a month before going and you need to plan several weekend hiking trips at least bi-weekly to get yourself prepared. Unfortunately nothing will prepare you for the 8,000 plus ft difference in altitude. That way you can dry your soaked socks and gloves and still have some to wear. Woodland digital breakup is a good camouflage. I'd also list renting at least one or two pack horses/mules. To be properly equipped for every contingency you need several hundred pounds of gear as well as a means to pack out your kill. EDTA: Pack everything you don't want soaking wet in Heavy duty trash bags. [/QUOTE]
