[QUOTE="middleofnowhere, post: 1442768, member: 96793"] I backpack hunted last August on an island near Cordova. The muskegs were wet, my all leather military issue goretex boots were soaked even after I treated with Obanauf’s. My cousins $400 boots did well, his feet were dry. Gaiters were helpful. The brush and devils club was thick, you need durable rain gear as breathable as possible. Some of the stuff we hiked through was absolutely crazy steep, wet and thick. The hiking was as tough as I’ve done anywhere, Randy Newburg describes it perfectly in attached video. I wouldn’t wear mucks or waders for the alpine stuff, you’ll regret it. We never glassed very far for blacktails, I would say 8x or 10x would be suitable for most coastal island hunting. The alpine areas were absolutely beautiful when we got any sun.
