Looking for some suggestions on recommended single person shelters and rain gear for Kodiak Island in Aug. I'll be doing a fly in deer hunt Aug 11-18 there. I'm preparing for heavy rain and praying for sunshine!
I have little experience with needing an extremely water proof shelter. I currently am running a floorless tarp/bivvy set up but am assuming floorless is not recommended for the conditions I may encounter? I have a terra nova zephorous tent but have not tested it in heavy rain and don't really think Kodiak is really the place to test it.
Also, doing the majority of my hunting in central MT, I don't even own rain gear. I could care less about the brand or color. Just looking for good quality rain gear that works. Light weight is nice but not definitely not necessary.
For people that have done this hunt or similar, what would you recommend and why?
