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

I broke down bought a pair of those fancy $500 hunting/mountaineering boots a couple years back.
Best money I ever spent.
Western hunting ain't sitting on your ass.
Rest of my gear is more pedestrian and old.
Old Columbia wool pants, old Mad Dog knee length rain resistant jacket.
My kid bought me a pair of KUIU attack pants for my birthday.
They are pretty damn good in rain, snow and brush.

I buy what I want and what works for me. I dont care whether it cost $4 bucks and is used or costs $1000 and is new. I dont care what others do with their money or what they choose to wear and use fir gear or what their motivation is for buying it. People have different needs and desires and different products are developed to satify those needs and desires. If you think you can develop a line of clothing or gear that has all the features and performance of the expensive stuff at half the price then by all means get to it. You will be rich beyond your dreams. We are all standing in line waiting for you to roll it out on the market. But please make it in 4xl because I want some…. I agree you can alway find sales and thats a good way to get quality stuff for less. I started out with a $7 army surplus poncho as rain gear.
Im not going to trade down back to that poncho out of my expensive breathable rain gear anytime soon.

Nothing Americans love more than to talk about how other people spend their money.

I need to get myself about 3 horses or some of those Denver Pyle Old Number 7 mules to haul my 6 passenger wall tent, cots, dead deer, back bacon, romance novels, wood stove, cast iron bean pot and all my tripods, spotting scopes, and tiddy baby creature comforts like they do out west. Maybe a Sherpa or a couple of teenage boys.

a simple pair of new Skechers from Payless Shoes would fit the bill. Ahh hell, gimme the silver tipped Dan Post roach stompers, I want to look good for my blog entry

Oh oh oh....and I need some canvas bags of water to hang off of one them bitchy mules....cause that’s how my grandpappy Horace did it.

lol, They trying to look like a GQ model on front of Peterson’s hunting magazine.

Don’t forget your cool- gel piller.
