gear from the trip on my end, if anyones interested. switched to kuiu gaiters last second. happy with that choice the first few days, then it warmed up and i could have gone for my shorties. scarpas are still a maybe, my feet swell so bad up there i dont know what to do. i still cant feel my big toes and i killed this bull 9-18. these boots were half size big in town, fine all year at 5-7k in WA. no blisters. quilt earned its keep. i thought my food list was dialed, i ate almost none of it, crackers, shot blocks and elk meat was about it. overall dont expect many changes.
