Best Gear for Lightweight Backcountry Hunting

How do you begin the search for the “best” camping, hiking or hunting gear? This question and the results are a bit subjective and personal. As everyone has a different way of “researching”. Some may just use referrals, read their favorite magazines, blog or forums to get their information and let’s not forget the “gearheads” as they try everything themselves! And the results may not suit everyone as what my fit or exceed my needs and wants, may not fit or exceed yours.

I personally like to use a collaboration of these resources. Meaning, I may use all of the resources to me for a high-level research on items, and then narrow it down to 2-3 items, and then I personally try them out to make my final decision. And sometimes, to my wife’s dismay, may feel that all of them fit my needs for different circumstances! The flip-side is you may find that none of these will fit your needs and wants. I find this very common in footwear; I will wear my new footwear in the house for a week or two. Never removing the tags from the garment and never stepping outside. If my feet aren’t comfy, then it’s back to the drawing board!
