I don't want to repeat what's already been said, and Terry said it well on his great list......BUT if you have the slightest tendency towards allegies or hay fever, or even if you don't and are over 45, I can't say how important it is for you to take some allergy control medicine and benadryl with you. I'm not, or wasn't particularly sensitive to plant allergens until I ran into the dreaded Khaki plant in RSA. Luckily we were close enough to a town that it didn't interfere with the enjoyment of the hunt, but it easily could if you are in the wrong place when it strikes. A few small pills can save your day. Sneezing and itching are no fun. Makes for an interesting stalk tho.
