I know there has to be people that are doing some crazy things that really work out well....
as an example, I laughed my ass off and thought he as crazy, but my partner (who is 75% hillbilly) has a 2 puffy coat system... a few years ago Cabelas had their cheap puffy coats on sale for $25... so he proceeded to buy a large and a XL puffy coats. beside his base and mid layers, that's all he takes when we are out packing or rafting in the late season in Idaho and Colorado..... I must say that I am actually a little jealous, seems like it works awesome and he save a pile of money....

What are some of the other off the wall ideas??

Nothing too crazy. But when mountain hunting, when in the alpine and I know I’m not going to bust any brush during a particular hunt, I don’t bring rain pants. I’ll wear a long helly hansen trench coach style rain coat and the back is long enough to sit in when glassing and not need a pad or water proof pants.

I also know guys to use crocs as their “over shoes” when wearing stocking foot waders, instead of traditional wading boots. They’re light and super comfy. Kind of a life hack honestly.

Instead of buying a puffy set, I'm using my old insulated pants and coat. I lost some weight, so they fit perfect over everything. They weight under 3lbs with stuff sack.

I run an eberlestock rifle scabbard on all my packs. Some people think it’s crazy, but I like my scope out of the elements, protected from a fall. My first pack had the built in scabbard and I’ve tried the rest, just don’t like any of the others. I’m ok with weird.
