Bigfoot Hunting
In
the Spring/Summer months,
keeping cool and dry
will be the primary concern.You will want to wear cloting that will
allow heat heat to escape and your skin to breathe. Insects will also
become a problem at this time of
year, and
clothing should be chosen to protect against them.
Undergarments
Wear something
that will dry quickly and allows your skin to
breathe. Change clothing often, especially if it gets damp. A number of
moisture related ailments can be prevented this way, and
you will feel more clean and comfortable.
Shirts
Long
sleeved shirts
are recommended to protect against ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes and
poison ivy. Despite the long sleeves, loose fitting shirts create a
billows effect produced by your movement and will help cool you off.
Pants
Pants should
be long for the same reasons stated above. they should
extend down over the boot completely covering the legs.
The more pockets, the better.
Shorts
If you
absolutely have to wear shorts, I recommend wearing cargo shorts. they
have lots of pockets that come in handy for snacks, tools or other
handy items.
Hat
In the warmer months it is
generally better to have a cap with some type of visor to block the
sun, shield the eyes during rain, and guard against ticks.
Socks
Wear light cotton socks that provide enough
padding to make walking
comfortable. Change your socks often to prevent problems especially if
they get wet.
Boots
I prefer a pair of comfortable
hiking boots. Do not buy new boots right before going on an expedition.
Let your boots break in for a couple weeks before going long distances
in them. I also like to wet my boots a little when breaking them in.
This lets the leather take the shape of your foot a little bit.This
break-in period should be carried out with the same type of socks you
will be wearing on the expedition. That way you will know whether these
items will work well together. Check to make sure your laces aren't
waring out before leaving.
Rain Gear
Some
type of poncho or rainsuit will allow you to continue your expedition
regardless of what the weather is doing.
