[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2893191, member: 59647"] Think differently about gear when hunting spot and stalk in the mountains, where you’re going to be active climbing, hiking, then sit for a period of time glassing, then back on the move again. Temps can vary from 60 degrees to below freezing, and many places the wind never stops. You need to have layers that can easily be added on or taken off. Merino is great for base layers, throw in some soft shell outer garments, a puffy jacket for cold weather insulation, and high quality rain gear. And I agree with the above post, don’t go cheap on the boots. Camo is ok but isn’t necessary, natural colors work fine. Sitka, First Lite, Kuiu, Stone Glacier are a few brands I’ve been around or personally used that have quality high tech light weight fabrics. [/QUOTE]
