Of all the things a person should have a elk camp is for a long period of time hunting. I would take enough socks to change every day along with a secound pair of boots. Wearing socks over and over lose their value of warmth. Also two pair of wool gloves is a must for me incase one pair gets totally soaked. These I carry with me both pair. You can't safe your life by starting a fire if your fingers won't work. Wool is sometimes hard to wear but will keep you alive in some bad conditions even wet. The next best thing if fleece for warmth. Carry a cheap pocket poncho. These things fold up small and buy one bigger than you need. Instant one man tent when the call comes for it. Cowboy hats are very warm and serve two purposes one from the wet and the other is warmth. Or an aussie style hat. It really sucks to have rain or wet snow running down your neck if you forgot your poncho. If you can stay warm and dry you will have a fun hunt. Outside of safety item, first aid kit, space blankets, medicine, and fire starter. All other things are just gadgets. Staying warm and dry is where it's at in having fun.

Hope you have the time of your life. Good luck
