I hate rain.
I have bear camp coming up this week, Thursday through Sunday. Forecast shows a high chance of rain most of the week, so it looks like we will be hunting while wet. I was wondering if those of you with more experience have any tips or tricks for camping and hunting in the rain?
I'll have a tarp under the tent, edges tucked under so water won't pool between the tarp and tent. I applied a spray waterproofer to my rain fly and will have an extra tarp to go over that. We will have rain gear and a tarp to set up while glassing.
Anything I'm overlooking? Do you have tips to staying dry/sane during a rainy hunt? Would you suggest bailing on the area I scouted to find a location with a more promising forecast? This is MT so the forecast is worth about as much as an armless barber. We can't change the dates, as my buddy can't get time off.
Thanks for the advice and input.
