Items to bring on Alaskan hunting trip(Bitte bringen Sie mit)

Sleeping Bag; Holofill preferable to down, 5 degree rated.
Raingear; parka and pants. Must be dependable, lightweight, and quiet. Brands I prefer are Dri-tex, Peter Storm, and Frogg Toggs. Parkas made of Saddlecloth or other quiet, water repellent synthetics are very useful, but I don't depend on that alone, and carry real raingear as well.
Hip Boots; knobby (air bob) soles, ankle-fit or stocking foot with lug sole boot. LaCrosse, Orvis, LL. Bean, and Simms are good brands. Boots for Stocking foot avilable from Servus, Hodgman or NRS. Neoprene hippers are quiet and warm, . Lightweight hippers are comfortable but noisy, unless you can find some faced with rubber.
Boots: waterproof leather + rubber shoepacs, or all rubber, calf hi (14") Schnee, Xtratuff and LaCrosse are fine brands.
Camp shoes
Sox; wool or polypro; medium or heavy weight. 6 or more pairs.
Long underwear; polypropylene, light, mid-weight, expedition. 3 sets.
