RE: Raining & Hunting
I don't mind hunting in the rain, as long as it's lite to moderate. Heavy rain finds me snug at home with a cupper and a good movie or book.
I usually carry a mil issue poncho, cup, fire, esbit stove w/fuel, candle, coffee, honey, powdered creamer and a couple cookies, along with other gear, when hunting late fall and winter months. If it gets to raining too hard, I'll set up a shelter using the poncho, build a small fire, make some coffee and eat. If it don't stop, the poncho keeps me relatively dry till I get to the vehicle.
