So here we are it's the night before the beginning of our epic trip to Alaska and
I'm about to finish packing my bag I've left it a little bit late as usual.
Everything I'm about to show you it's gonna fit eventually into this bag I
hope here's what's coming with us. So, to begin with we have the Mountain GTX
Pro they're mine I go to hunting boots right next to them
my Sims G3 Guide Boots. Now, they're coupled with these Sims G3 Waders now
there could be a lot of sign that we're going through a river crossing through
marshes those sorts of things and that'd be I'll get your gear for that. Next
door to that we have two sets of the Deerhunter Track waterproof smock
and trousers and then another lighter-weight Deerhunter and survivor watery
over-trousers. Taking three sets of trousers with us. Cumberland which is a
waterproof potty Treecko. The Predator which is a softshell slightly thicker
and then the strike which is more of a cotton canvas and lightweight. Next to
those we have our Avanti waterproof fleece in Realtree Max-5.
Cumberland quilted jacket, Cumberland quilted waistcoat there are insulating
layers. Five pairs of liner socks for using the waders, five pairs of Merino
socks for use under my boots, six pairs of sports underwear now they're not
cotton they're more polyester or manmade fibers so that they are wicking. Some
thermal long-johns to go underneath my waders three sets of Deerhunter Greenic
base layers. Two sets of Dunbar insulating layers so that's all of our
clothes as you can see. Two sets of heavyweight gloves two sets of smaller
liner gloves, face mask and beanie hat, two baseball caps in Realtree Max-5.
I've got this larger hat which is better for keeping the mosquito net
off my face. Over into our deluxe accommodation, sleeping bag, sleeping bag
liner in case it gets cold, emergency bivy in case you get caught
out I get chewed up by a grizzly bear. Therm-a-rest inflatable mat here is my
Helix seat that I'll be using both in camp and also for glassing.
I have a waterproof fleece blanket. Too easy quick dry lightweight towels
and then moving here to the front a small spotting scope, Hawke spotting
scope a Hawke LRF 900 Rangefinder, Hawke Endurance12x56 binoculars, Go Pro
for points of view filming filming back at myself. Stills camera and little
tripod thing there. Head torch, absolutely essential don't to get
chewed up in the woods when I want to go for a wee at nights. Cards,
shooting sticks Vanguard B 62's, go everywhere with me.
Various bits of toiletries, toothbrush, deodorant, Vaseline, suntan lotion might
not need it. These are what I'm probably gonna be using most of the time
to keep ourselves clean baby wipes. Over here we have a solar panel and a battery
pack that space for the cameras for the video cameras and also for our GoPros
and all of the various different cables and connections we need for charging
here. These are quite important we've got the cleaning kit pull through lens pan
so all my gun tools and maintenance equipment. Here's just general stuff
cable ties, tape, paracord, bungees just general stuff that we might need for
fixing and keeping things together. of course gun oil, this is Purdy cape from
James Horn. Onto the kitchen, two Nalgene gene 32 ounce water bottles, mug camp set
share mug which is basically going to be having all of my freeze-dried food
reconstituted in their essentials being a titanium coffee cup jungle formula
both roll-on and spray on anti mozzie repellent mosquito hat or face mask
sorry. My trusty buck 1 10 folding hunter knife 40 rounds of
Hornady superformance 225 grain 3 3 ammunition a leather case to carry it in
and that is pretty much it. Whilst that looks like a lot of gear, the
fact is it's not really I've got three pairs of trousers, three base layers, two
tops, some insulating layers and then a lot of waterproof. Now the key is just
to make sure that we're insulating appropriate for the conditions now for
up and moving and walking around that might mean even walking in her underwear
I put with the weather does come in and it gets cold we need those layers go on
top more importantly we need to stay dry. So, fingers crossed this is all going to
go into the pack we've been in there before
the next time we'll be speaking to you guys is probably on the way to the
airport in the morning, so wish me luck.
