Thread: Starting out

Don't over fuss the gear.
Hill country farmers don't overdress or make a fashion statement when they go to the back paddock for the day.

They wear a bit of wool or polly close to their skin. Their footwear is robust with a bit of grip. They always take a decent rain coat regardless of the wx (any fool can take a coat on a wet day). And they take enough warm stuff for how much colder it could get, not for what its like when they head off.
