Limiting factor is probably day pack and budget.
Don’t mean to seem stupid , just a drastically different type of hunt than the Eastern stand hunting I’m used to.



No worries, gear planning is half the fun of these trips,

but, December at 11k?

A rain jacket? Hell to the NO...........

I understand budgets, but lets be serious,

Sunrise at 11K, in the wind, once you start shivering,

You'll regret being the miser. Got the coin for the lodge hunt but no moola for a worthy jacket?

Elk hunt?



Never said I didn’t have the funds to buy worthy jacket.
I don’t know what I need that is why I’m here trying to ask questions and figure it out.
If a already had something that might work I saw no need not to utilize it .
The rain jacket as a outer layer I understand now is not a good option.
I learned something and have proceeded to find out what I need to do.
I’m asking for layering suggestions.
Do you have one ?
