After years of wearing over sized shirts and jeans to the hunting stand (maybe that explains why we never actually seen deer..). For months, I have been eyeballing hunting clothing.
Last night, I finally decided I had it. I want my own camo. I want actual hunting pants, I want Scent-Lok base layers. I want.. I want.. I WANT! I told Nick my plan.
Me: “I am ordering every piece of hunting gear a girl could ever need.”
Nick: *hahaha* “Okay babe.. Do what you want, but just know its going to be expensive.”
He wasn’t joking. I dropped some serious cash. I did my research first though. I wanted to make sure since I am investing so much money into this hobby, I want my gear to be top quality. I’m not the type of person that needs a new orange hat every season. I WILL get my use out of every item that I purchased for many years to come.
I bet your wondering.. “Well what the hell, did that girl buy?” Well, I bought boots(Lacrosse), base layer(Scent-lok), pants (Prois), a light camo shirt (Prois), and a Heavy Jacket (Prois [I should basically own stock in Prois now haha]) I didn’t buy all those things direct from the company either. I spent HOURS looking for deals on the internet. (I did happen to buy my base layer direct from the company but because I know they are from Michigan and I like to support my home state.) It took me a long time to decide what I need. I usually am very decisive on deciding what I need and what I don’t but hunting clothing is really different. Many of times I was asking Nick if I really need this or that (he didn’t help too much)..
Now I bet your wondering well, how did you decide Shawna? What process did you go through? Just follow these steps.
1.) Ask your self “Is it a necessity?” Do you REALLY need it or is it just for “looks”?
2.) Do your research. What is the best product for your type of terrain/weather? Whats the product made of? Is it made in the US (this is important me)?
3.) Narrow the product down to what you want then Google it and find the best price. I have found many time Amazon.com has some low prices for hunting gear. Also search for coupons!
4.) Order!
5.) Wait and Wait and WAIT until the mail lady delivers your package.(I’m at this step currently…)
Stay tuned for product review.
and happy shopping!
