With the evil terrain around Boise,steep hills,loose volcanic jumble, basalt fields,desert and canyons, then all the rest of the stuff you can get into within 100 miles........I would look at getting some boots with good ankle support and aggressive sole. Being waterproof is something to get above the Thinsulate though,luckily they normally come together. With that Cabela's in Boise you have lots to look at for less than $100 As for clothing,as mentioned cotton is a bad choice. Get poly underlayers ( I like the thicker stuff,less need for heavy on top)then look for wool or more poly with loft to trap air,then a top layer that is pretty much water-proof. Getting wet is what gets you cold and puts you at risk,so anything to keep dry is good. I try to get a Poly T-shirt with a ****** pocket(hard to find) to put those hand heater packets into--one or two keep you warm all day. Mil-surplus sometimes has wool or winter duty stuff,but prices seem to have gone up in those places. Ex is from Kuna,So there were too many trips down 55 and 95,but the trips were scenic at least, even when we had to go to Jerome.

Walking alot....you don't need that much....and weight is the key with stalking or walking alot. =&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat21404-cat21416-cat140013&parentType=index&indexId=cat140013&rid= Two good choices…..If you are sitting in a stand I would look at some pack boots or well insulated like 1200grams to 2000grams.

Far as clothing goes, Stay away from anything Cotton, period. You might want to look on Ebay I scored some awesome wool pants overalls and coat for nowhere near the cost of brand new. granted they won't be camo, but you will be warm.
