[QUOTE="Wyowind, post: 1576725, member: 67305"] Many good suggestions on this thread. A few small items. Toenail clippers as your toenails must be properly trimmed before starting all that hiking. Carmex or Chapstick. Tweezers especially if you are hunting where there is cactus. Electrical tape over the muzzle of your rifle to keep out snow and whatever else. If you are of such an age, then make sure you have your reading glasses. Sunglasses are mandatory in sunshine on bright snow. Steamboat Springs gets a lot of snow. Carry both headlamp and small flashlight. At least two ways to start a fire (cottonballs with Vaseline still work just fine). Boots have been mentioned many times and I agree that they are critical. They must fit your feet and they need to be well broken in before you arrive. For late season hunting, I always take both leather boots and pac boots with removable liners. Bring extra liners to swap out at night. When it gets really cold, it is hard to keep my feet warm with any kind of leather boots. Good luck with your hunt! [/QUOTE]
