Planning an elk hunting trip in the future with a couple friends. We all three are whitetail hunters so don’t necessarily have the proper gear at the moment. My main concern was clothing and pack size.
For clothing, comfort is a big deal but where do you draw the line on what’s good enough? I know kuiu is popular, but not cheap also. Is it important to splurge on a top tier brand like kuiu or are there cheaper alternatives to look into?
Pack size: we will likely hike in off a trail and set up a small base camp and hunt from there. Likely be a 3-5 day hunting trip. We thought a 3000 size pack would be sufficient. Would this be underkill? Overkill?
