Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Price of hunting apparel and gear

Style points and brand name tags count big time for alot of nuggs.
Especially Neophyte types posing for cred.
Clothing cant make up for lack of knowledge or experience.
But looking the role is a big thing to many.

They still suck at woodscraft, reading sign and terrian, and marksmanship......



I might buy new camo pants and a shirt every 3 to 4 yrs.
Do some mods on em.

Baylor chewed up my rain jacket.... Frigging cheesehound..

Need a new one 50 or 60 bucks.

My orange vest and hat...
Lol!!
Schit almost 23 yrs old.
Sewn up and repaired a dozen times..

Hunting boots
Baylor knawed the toe off my ECWC,s ... Frigging cheesehound.

Got a 20 buck pair of very lightly worn rockies at a yard sale find.

Fold up hunting stool
Gotta mod those to lower for proper knee to elbow height.
Last about 6 to 8 yrs on avg, unless it gets snagged in briars in a overgrown clear cut at 430 am and you dont realize it.

My day pack..
I traded a NG recruiter like 8 or 9 Army coffee mugs for one of his NG daypacks back in 98.
Give away schit to nuggs at some combined service recruiting event.




I'm pretty fugging Spartan in what I use and will spend.
It has to work and be functional....


Paying for a name for style points versus lower priced gear that is equal or better makes zero sense other than trying to play a role many times.

See the runway model types in their hunting clothes all the time here in Tn and on FTCKY.
Usually with a gypsy wagon pack full of schit and a climber all cluster fugged attached going up a firebreak.
Some sally wagon from gunsmoke schit....

Same types with all the hunting stickers on their back window.


They dont kill much or at all...
Kinda like these types in the Army.
