Whether you’re a newcomer to hunting entirely or have simply never ventured off base for a hunting trip, nothing beats the thrill of setting up camp and getting away from it all for a few days. Before heading off the grid, however, take the time to speak with a gun shop about what to wear while you’re hunting. Few things ruin a trip faster than finding yourself ill prepared. Glauber’s Sports of Carrollton, KY, has been providing hunting accessories to novices and experts alike for years and offers a brief guide to being properly outfitted for your next hunting trip. Here are their top three must-haves.

A Gun Shop Lists 3 Items You Need on a Hunting Trip 

1. Backpack

All successful hunting trips start with a durable backpack. Yours should have enough room for everything you’ll need for the trip, including food, extra clothing, gun scopes, and ammunition, without weighing more than you can handle for a prolonged period of time. Exo-Mountain Gear 3500® is a favorite among experienced hunters.

2. Boots

Your boots should be able to withstand variations in temperature and prolonged wear and tear without leaving you aching and sweaty. When choosing boots for your hunting excursion, comfort and durability are key. Your best bet is to stick with one of the leading brands, like Timberland Pro®, Muck®, or Redwing®.

3. Camo Clothing

Hunting and camouflage clothing are practically synonymous with each other, and for good reason. Camo clothes give you the ability to move among the targets without being spotted while also protecting you from the elements. Carhartt® clothing is the leading brand: They offer unbeatable durability without sacrificing comfort.
