Prepping for a week on Long Island?

(1/2) > >>

Parasite:
I'm going to take my boat to Long Island for a week this comping September. What will you guys recommend for gear? I've got 9 months to prepare.

MR5x5:
Better rain gear than you can imagine. Strong tarping systems for rain and wind at camp.

Sundance:
Enough beer to share with everyone else on the island.

Seriously though, with the lack of rain this year and the high chance of fire closures next September (on private timber company lands) there are going to be a lot of people looking to get on state lands where they don't close for fire danger. In 2017 when early archery was closed until the 18th on timber co lands there wasn't a spot to park at the boat launch. Camp sites book out well in advance (no spike camping allowed) and plenty of people day hunt the island. Not trying to burst your bubble, but other then some cool old trees and thick brush I wouldn't consider this a backcountry hunt at all.

Lucky1:
In September be prepared for mosquitoes. Lots and lots of mosquitos.

actionshooter:
I have hunted it (long time ago) archery elk, and I have spent a far amount of time there, have family in the area.
Sundance is right, have a back up plan....
as far as gear... be ready for anything, don't skimp on the waterproof gear.
