[QUOTE="Beer Baron, post: 2298611, member: 111164"] Been hunting elk in CO for 20 years and never needed a bipod. For me camp shoes are a must and any slip on shoes work for me. It is a real pain wearing boots around camp, especially when relieving yourself at night. I bring two sets of boots, one pair of heavy duty hikers (Kenetrek, Crispis) one pair of high-top trail running shoes and normally hike 8-12 miles a day. A good set of gaiters is always in my gear. I always keep rain gear in my pack and almost never use it. It does work well as a shell if the wind picks up on an evening stand, temps and the sun drop fast in the mountains. I wear the same outer garments up to 3 days and change my base layer daily. Wipes are indispensable in camp and in my pack. I don't own trekking poles but will buy one this year since so many people suggested it. Try to get to camp early if possible to adjust to the altitude and drink plenty of water as many have suggested. I live at over 5000 ft but I don't sleep well above 8000 ft, just something to consider. If you need any more info let me know and I hope you enjoy your hunt and fill your tag. [/QUOTE]
