Tips
Alpine Hunting - Tip # 3
Tip from: Scott Kunac, Allan Millar's Hunting & Fishing
When heading into the hills for an alpine hunting trip, there are a few must-dos that will make your time in the hills a lot more enjoyable.
Equipment
Good clothing and footwear is essential. Full shank gortex boots, knee high gaitors and 100% waterproof breathable clothing will make your stay in the mountains a lot more comfortable if conditions are not too favourable. You may need a slightly larger day pack (around 45 litres) to fit in what you will need for a day in the mountains.
Here is what I would normally carry in my day pack:
* Waterproof over trou
* Extra fleece top
* Gloves and a warm beanie
* Headlight
* Bic lighter and a rubber strip
* Thermal blanket
* Rope and light cord
* Extra food bars
This equipment is in addition to any hunting equipment that you would normally carry.
