I'm struggling with the clothing part of this, good stuff is expensive, cheap stuff isn't that good for warmth, dryness, etc. Especially buying for 4 people, two whom are still growing by inches a day it seems.

The clothing is definitely the bulky part of the pack. I didn't go super high-end either, just some light weight snow pants, waterproof hunting gloves, and waterproof boots. Don't know the brand off hand, but I'll try to make a note of that.

Check out the thrift stores like ARC-when my son was in Scouts I got almost all of his camp clothes that way. You'd be amazed at what you can find including stuff for yourself at an affordable price. It's kinda funny now that he's 26 and he still loves searching thrift stores. [Beer]

Yep, will start searching the thrift stores. I find pretty good stuff now and then, but haven't started searching for the BOB items there yet.

I got a great shotgun cart at a thrift store recently. (truth: its a jogging stroller and I made it a gun cart for clays).
