This last year was tough because of some health issues, so this year I'm trying to fix that with a better diet, suppliments and exercise. I thought that if I can incorporate fishing with my exercise, I might actually do it , so I thought some high country fishing trips were in order. Getting outfitted has been quite a task. I'm lucky to work with some knowledgeable people and the internet is a pretty good resource, but throwing some feelers for gear info on here would help.
I'm looking to get some good gear, but I'm not looking for the absolute best stuff. We're talking uintas/boulder mtns etc, in the late spring, summer, early fall out for 2-3 days at a time. I'm on a bit of a budget, so I'm really looking for mid range price, but fairly decent quality stuff.
For any of you with experience with this gear please chime in. Pros and cons etc. or any units you really like.
These are some products I'm looking at
Garmin etrex series gps systems.
Katadyn water purifiers.
Thermarest pads.
kelty sleeping bags.
Kelty tents.
Merrell boots.
Any sock recomendations (this has been the toughest to get a consistant recomendation on)
So far this is the gear I have bought
Backpack- kelty tornado 4900
stove- MSR pocket rocket
