    Underrated, my Bass pro camo umbrella, even when you have the best rain gear on the extra protection is well worth it.

    Overrated, the weather forecast.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    judging by that comment, I’m guessing you’re on the west coast of the island. I hardly ever wear rain gear since I left there. Lol

    Underrated: Kuiu Peleton 118 zip off base layers. Absolute game changer to not need to take off boots to add/remove base layer.
    Overrated: 90% of hunting branded clothing. I've found great comfort and success moving to Mountain Hardwear and Arc’teryx.

    Underrated: Drugstore eye patch. Helps provide hours and hours of comfortable spotting scope viewing. Been using one for over a decade and forgot it on this years sheep hunt. A real pain in the forhead without it.

    Underrated: air mattress. After years of using a thermarest, I finally put an Exped downmat on the wish list for my bday and my gf purchased it.
    It is an absolute game changer. I used to wake up so stiff I couldn't reach down to tie my boots in the morning. Now, I have a MUCH MUCH better sleep in the backcountry. Well worth the $165+tax that it cost. A little paranoid of poking holes in it so I carry a sheet for under it, but so far so good.
