[QUOTE="iknowftbll, post: 658258, member: 47997"] Yeah, footwear is important. For starters I will probably stick to the boots I wear for military use. I have a couple pairs that I've worn on 20 mile hikes with over 80 pounds of gear on my back and made it without blisters. I may look into nicer and lighter boots in the future, but for now I have to spread out "start up" costs, so for now I'll use what I've got. I'll probably get a couple nice pairs of socks though. I'll be looking at Gander Mountain and REI for a pack. I have one that I can use for kayak excursions, and I even wore it when I climbed Mt. Blanca in Colorado back in 2004. But I will be looking for an upgrade here nonetheless. @Bruce Ventura, That's actually a good idea. I googled SPOT trackers and they seem like a sensible piece of gear especially since I am also getting more into kayaking, and planning some kayak/camping trips in the near future. Plus I do a lot of hiking. I don't plan on hunting alone, but may consider that anyway. [/QUOTE]
