Clothes reccomendations. - Holy Herb - 15 June 2013
Hey guys me and my friend have just discovered we love being out in the forests, hunting, just surviving of nothing really kind of a weird hobby if you ask me! Right now all I use to go out is the real camo trousers and top + jacket with some gloves, I want a whole new kit just for the woodlands, I have a rather low budget since I'm not working atm so please suggest if you can
I do not have a set budget and I know a low budget isn't that low to some people so below £200 if possible, I don't mind spending a bit more
Thanks for all the help given!

Hi Sunna thanks for your post, what should I be on the lookout for? Any makes or just comfortable but sturdy clothing?

thats down to you, check out good names in camping shops , survival web sites ect then just keep your eyes open .
my daughter loves doing this and regularly picks up high class , top name gear for peanuts .
it becomes a very addictive hobby quickly

Ebay!!!
army surplus gear can be quite effective, i got a parka from http://www.sids-surplus.co.uk/ that really kept me warm during a mock bug out last weekend!
as for boots, i'd wholly reccomend Magnum Panther boots, very comfy, not 100% waterproof, but mine dried out nicely next to the campfire overnight.
dont bother with brand name camos, in my experience they aint worth it.
search ebay, you can get magnum panther boots on ebay for half the price of a high street shop. they really are good, even have a wander up your local high street and try boots on, you HAVE to look after your feet out and about!

Terrible, yeah people don't realize the dangers of feet! I've seen it myself that's why I'm always bringing extra socks wet dirty feet is horrible!
