Post subject:  New archery hunter looking for general equipment advice
Hey all, I am going out on my first archery hunt this year, well first hunt period . I have a buddy who has been doing it for 7 years and has been doing good, which is who I’m going with . I’m here to get some info on what I should really be carrying in my pack , and what is over kill. I don’t want to buy stuff that I don’t need . I’m also interested to hear what peoples opinions are for a good boot for the PNW. I have everything for my bow and I have my pack picked out. I have been doing research online but I would like local feedback as different regions require different items in one way or another I would imagine . Thanks for the input .

Boots are super important. Dont cheap out. I went to Crispi a few years ago. Couldn't be happier. Not cheap, but quality isnt. I run non insulated. Twice now I wish had some insulation, but those were really adverse conditions, even for where we hunt. Someday I'll get insulated Crispi's, but for 95% of my hunting the uninsulated work perfect.

I went and tried on some crispis GTX a few weeks ago and they were awesome ! 500$ but like you said boots and my pack are two things I won’t skimp on . Pack I’m looking at is like 600$…. But good gear will last me a long time so it’s worth it .

Yep, Crispi Boots, Mystery Ranch for load carrying gear, and First Lite for my camo. All expensive, but so far is not comparable to any of the lesser expensive discount options. Lighter, better, etc.

Not sure about anyone else but I use rechargeable electric socks. Definitely helps me stay out longer.

Got a pair for Xmas. Wore them Ice Fishing, and were good, but a bit weird feeling the wires in your socks. Will give them a try for hunting if I need to. Hopefully they are comfy enough.
