I definitely do not hunt were some of you guys hunt.  Have yet to see the loin cloth or banana hammock but there is always a first.

Over the years I have learned that the layering is the way to go.  Base layer a synthetic  moisture wicking with preferably a silver thread scent control, and outer layers light weight or fleece depending on temp.  I also go to the extra effort and wash clothes in scent eliminating detergents then store in off season in a plastic bags that you can force the air out and seals with a Ziploc on one end then it has a valve setup on the other end. 

Here is a list of clothes I would have with for a multiple day spike camp hunt in wilderness area:
1. Wicking polypro type socks under Smart Wool sock.  Wear one set extra set in pack.
2. One set of silk weight long underwear in pack
3. light weight or as light as possible camo pants, extra pair in pack.
4. Wicking t-shirt with scent control silver thread material, extra t-shirt in pack.
5. Button up type long sleeve camo shirt with silver thread scent control material.
6. Set of breathable camo rain gear.  Used a set of Gander Mountain Guide gear last year seemed to work good.  However, I have not been able find a rain gear that breathes enough for me even gore-tex.
7. Fleece camo vest.
8. Fleece camo stocking cap.
9. camo cap
10. camo gloves.

I tried some of the Cabelas's brand mesh type light weight camo last year and it didn't seem to hold up walking through brush and timber day after day.  One of my hunting partners purchased a pair of the Rocky Atomic Scent IQ ten pocket pants and said they worked great on a late season hunt on the west side.  I am planning on trying those out this year.

As for me, I like Under Armor Heat Gear, and Micro-tex for the rest.   I bring a water resistant fleece for the possible showers.  And gaitors and a light Columbia rain jacket in the pack.  Dont forget the therma rest seat cushion. Keeps me from loosing so much heat to the ground when sitting.

Dayglow orange banana hammock and matching tube top.  I like to top off the whole ensemble with a nice pair of pink Vans slip-on's with black socks and a bright pink (or purple depending on my mood) fanny pack.

Anytime someone starts talking about their fanny pack,or getting their fanny packed, whatever... all I can think of is the movie Deliverance! Sorry. Thats all I can envision. Can you say "squeal like a pig!?"

I wear Kings camo stuff. Everything matches, I usually start with the vest on and then peel off as needed.
If its brown knock it down
