>>822181>Swiss Salt & Pepper RucksackThese are getting more expensive with every passing day. Originally got mine cause it was in shit shape for C$50. Now a lot are in the upwards of $100-175. I just repaired mine and gave the leather a lot of love and it was good to go.
>MEC ParkaLiterally just a MEC Parka I found in the lost and found at my very first job like 5 years ago. Slate grey and 100% cotton. It was a short day hike so it was fine for that. Doesn't even have a label past the washing instructions.
>BD Hand Towel & Toque Germany military issued hand towel around my neck. Can't remember where I got the inspiration for that but I think it was Charlie Sheen in PLATOON. Wool hat with a fleece lining.
>H&M L.O.G.G Cargo PantsCheap cargo pants that I usually buy in bulk, dye and waterproof the fuck out of. It can be fun to make your own /out/ gear. Generally I'll buy a pair or two every few years, dye them some different earth tones, use some heavy duty waterproofing techniques and sometimes even get my tailor to stitch in some crotch and knee reinforcements.
>Swiss Mountain Troop Gaiters Cheap and reliable. Mine have drawstrings but you can get the variant with a zipper. Also a good item for waterproofing.
>Timberland BootsNormally I wouldn't wear Timbs on a hike, but it was a day trip and not an overnight thing. Plus I got them this past Christmas and hadn't really gotten a chance to wear them.
Finally, pretty sure I had a German BD sweater underneath. Important thing to know if you're gonna use military surplus is that it's called surplus for a reason: it was sold off because something better came around. Nothing wrong with surplus, but modern day fabrics and shit tend to be a lot better.
