As already mentioned, a good pair of knee high rubber boots with a good sole is Paramount. Gortex rain gear and a good backpack like a Badlands 2200 are essential. You want to dress in layers. I had a Havalon knife which I gave to my guide. Bring a couple of them with extra blades to give to the guides and they will really appreciate it!
Both my wife and I hunted, she took her bull on high ground after a 1.5 Mile hike the first day at 262 yards.
I shot my bull the second day on high ground after walking 2.5 miles through some of the most rugged country I've ever been in. Awesome hunt!

GUIDES like money it pays their bills! If you are going to give them a gift at least make it something worth while. Or maybe you just didn't like your guide?
You ask for advice and then throw daggers? WTF?
I booked a trophy hunt for my wife and I. Remote valley that is only accessable by heliçhopter. Not a cheap hunt!
I shot a monster bull moose and the outfitter used a picture for the cover of his brochure. The outfitter, guide and staff were all tipped very well! In fact, we have been invited to go up in June Lobster fishing.
Good luck on your hunt, your going to need it.
