Ya know after reading about this gear I think it will really be a joy to have all deer season. I hunt whitetail September through February, and have just used the stuff available here. Merino is a foreign concept. I ordered Kuiu midlayer merino pants today that zip off to the hip, as well as a merino neck gaiter. Also a Kifaru belt; if there’s one piece of whitetail gear I’ve never mastered, it’s a quiet belt. Still want some gaiters (to keep those Obsidians dry in the AM), and some rain pants. For a rain top I figure my Drake jacket will be fine.
Also noticed Amazon was offering 15% back on my Chase card for camping and outdoor gear. We are about at full kit now ha.
And ran 1.5 miles tonight; surprised by my ability after pretty much all but quitting exercise 8 years ago. It feels good. I’m excited.
