If you're • an outdoor person who regularly
makes falktrips'to hunt, fish, backpack.pr camp,
and have been doing so for a few years,; you
probably won't have to read this column.. On the
other hand, if you're just u casual fall weeken-
der, oI planning a trip for the first time to:
Ontario's colourful north, I may have a.tip or two.
. .for you. .
If there's one thing worse than getting rained
on during a summer camping trip, it's getting
wet in the fall when temperatures are . on-
si'derably cooler. This • is why a good quality
rainsuit is a must for fall trips. If .you're buying
one, get a good one, and make sure it's plenty big
enough. Fall rains are usually accompanied by
cold weather and you'll want to wear some heavy
clothes under your rain gear. If it's too tight,
you'll either be walking around like a penguin, or
ripping out seams, Neither is very conducive to
an enjoyable outdoors trip.
I personally prefer the two piece outfit (jacket
and pants) for maximum comfort and freedom
of movement. The pants are great for walking
through wet brush or sitting in a boat and when
coupled up with the jacket, you're ready for all
kinds of weather. The rainsuit is also great on
cold windy days to cut that damp wind. Just one
last word of advice. If you buy one of those
inexpensive plastic rainsuits, don't expect it to
last for more than two days. If you're going for a
weekend, okay, but if it's a week long trip, take
at least two suits to see you through.
Rubber boots and a good hat are the other two
items you should include in your wet weather
gear. The hat does not necessarily have to be
absolutely waterproof, but it should shed water
for a while, and have a brim all the way around.
Nothing is more uncomfortablethan cold water
trickling down the back of your neck. My two
personal preferences are the tone's style cap.
(duck hunter's cap) with a brim that can be
snapped down if it rains and the Irish "Shannon"
hat. A cowboy hat is also an excellent choice.
If you're just going to be sitting in a boat or
canoe; or stomping around camp, any rubber
boot will do. Walking, however, demands a tight
fitting boot with no slop in the heel. Miner makes
a boot that. is "form fitting" around the ankle and
calf and provides an amazing, amount of ,`support
- in spite of the fact it is constructed fromthin
rubber. Kaufman makes a similar boot and, both
being Canadian products, are favorites of mine.
The Korean and Czechoslovakian "hunting
boots" you see -on the market are okay if you
have narrow feet, but they can become quite
uncomfortable if you are used to a wider shoe.
Your sleeping bag isthe other item that should
have extra attention paid to it. If you have a big
Woods 5 -star down bag, don't wotry about cold
weather, but if your sleeping bag is just summer
weight, better take two. It's hard enough to get a
good night's sleep on the hard ground when
you're used to a good bed, let alone being .cold to
compound the misery. Extra blankets also work
well, but Use them 'right.
Unless you're sleeping on an extra thick foam
pad, most of the cold will come from below. Air
mattresses are comfortable in the summer, but
they provide little if any insulation when cold
weather hits. If you take three extra blankets
along, put two under you and one over. Often
using that extra sleeping bag as a mattress is
warmer than piling it on top. If you are still cold
and wear extra clothing ,to bed, make sure it's
not the same stuff you've been wearing all day.
Change in the morning so your "pyjamas;' get a
chance to dry and air out before the next night.
A little common sense and some minimal pre-
planning can ensure that your outdoor ex-
perience this fall will be a pleasant treat, not an
exercise in misery.
