No camo, no modern basewear, no iphone, and only a compass to take him out of those woods. And he still has a wool sweater more than forty years old, that still fits.
And most likely all while smoking a cigarette, going by the old timers I started hunting with.
That said, I like my modern base layers, I like thinsulate in my boots, and I like polar fleece. Wool is great -- I own some, but good heavy wool is so darn expensive these days.
