I am going on my 1st hunt (elk depravation) this October near Eureka NV where the weather historically has highs of 65 degrees and lows of 30 degrees. I am thinking I will be hunting at elevations near 8000ft. I have decided on getting the hecs base layer to start with including socks, back lava and gloves for spot and stalk method. I don't know what to use as layering system next. I was thinking merino wool for colder days and nights next for warmth and odor control. So I will have in my backpack or on me. Then I get overwhelmed by the options available for layering next. Short sleeved shirt, long sleeved, lightweight, heavyweight, vests, 90% jackets, rain gear etc. I'm trying to figure out what I need and can do without now. Money is a factor for me. I don't want to be cheap, just practical. I believe I bought frog togg gear for rain already as well. On days I wouldn't need merino wool I still would have an odor issue. Is it best to wear odor control clothing closest to your body or as outer layer? I have bought a kit with odor sprays, laundry detergent, sheets, deodorant, wipes etc. so I think I'm good there. But I would still like to add one more article of scent blocking clothing. Am I overthinking this scent blocking stuff? It seems to me there are ALOT of options and many work. I'm just trying to narrow it down for financial reasons. If possible please help me in my layering for these temps at roughly 8000ft. I want to be overly prepared just not excessively prepared if that makes sense. And lastly I can surely use some advice on cammo patterns. I have been looking at Sitka gear and I like the subalpine cammo even though a friend of mine recommended open country. I think both colors would serve me well, but again it's my first hunt and I don't know any better. I've read ASAT is good too and cheaper. I plan on hunting as often as NDOW allows me in the future in northern Nevada for big game. So I'm looking at a sound investment in clothing. Any thoughts on these or other patterns? First lite? Russell? Kings desert camo? Other? This is my first post and if this finds you veteran hunters willing to help me out, I thank you in advance. Thank You
