I mighta missed it, but add a decent poncho for you, and a cheap bass pro shop poncho for a companion. Ponchos also cover all your gear and your battle rattle. Be the grey man.
Also, your bag needs to match the distance, duration and climate of getting home.
Lastly broken in sneakers are OK, but if it is raining or snowing, wet sneakers get uncomfortable fast.
Broken in, 100 mile waterproof boots in your vehicle are better.
Be the grey man. <— First time I have heard this. What does it mean?
I agree with the boots, completely. It is yet one more deficit I am addressing. I am open to brands if ya got any in mind. My “poncho” is a ranger roll. Basically a camo blanket covered by a camo poncho.
Thanks for the post..
