My trip has come and gone, and I have finally found some time to write about it.
I stayed with Nick Blanco at Driftwood Wilderness Lodge in Larsen Bay
I landed on kodiak after two days of flying. While in the shuttle to the hotel, I saw the the one and only bear of my trip on the side of the...
I dont have to look out for alligators either. I hadn't accounted about the brush being less flexible, but it makes perfect sense now that I think about it.
Im definitely used to pushing through brush from hunting down here in south florida swamps. Im just putting the final touches on my packing list, and I need a pair of gloves and Ill be all set to go!
Im going first week of November. I have a 250g black ovis merino top with an older but usable fleece jacket and a soft shell outer jacket. Ill also be able to go back to a lodge each night to dry off everything. All I need to complete my clothing for the hunt is gaiters, rain gear, and long jons.
Thanks for all the replies, I have decided on the cirque II pants. Just two more questions: What gaiters would you recommend with those pants, and how heavy unders did you use?
Did you bring rain pants too? Or were those pants enough. Any problems with overheating, i still like the hip vents on the kuiu in case i start to sweat.
Also, how to they run sizing wise? I find that most website size guides are innacurate for me.
Based off the replies, im now leaning towards pro or guide (still want to look into each more) and light or medium merino unders. I run hot and my legs dont really get cold, so if i needed to, id take off unders aswell
Im going to kodiak early november for a deer hunt and want some input on pant selection. Ive been thinking Kuiu attack or pro pants with medium or heavy unders. Temps should be between 35-45 and it is wet and windy. Alders are thick so durability is important. Im also going to get a pair of rain...
Well, my trip is just a little over 3 months away, and I am extremely excited!
I am still looking for hunting pants, as i dropped a few sizes in the past couple months, I was thinking kuiu attack or pro pants with medium or heavy weight merino wool unders. Are there any other recommendations?
I...
Spoke with Nick at the lodge yesterday, hes very helpful and answered all of my questions. I'm putting down the depoist for november 1-7 as soon as I can get to the bank to get a check. Im going solo, but Nick is trying to hook me up with any other solo hunters in that time slot. Super excited...
