Gonna need both chambers for something as radical as this lol

Crispi, Miendel, scarpa, whites, nicks are all very high quality boots.

Check out 1620 work wear. I have a pair of their fleeced pants and have really liked them so far. If you’re moving they are warm, sitting still requires layers

If I could afford and or justify it I would get a kifaru. BUT, consider googling cottage industry frame packs and you will probably find a lot more options, possibly less expensive

You’re going to sacrifice either breathability or durability IMO. Not sure what’s more important to you. You can do canvas pants if all sorts (Carhartt type, brand probably doesn’t matter a ton) or more breathable ones along the 1620 line (poly, nyco, spandex, nylon types or blends) I just got the 1620 lined pants with a cordura Chap front (the only lined model they have) and like them so far. I have only worn them a handful of times however. I got some Triple Aught Design AC10 pants for summer time foraging and fishing, nylon style hiking pants and love them so far (2/3 years? Wear them a lot in the summer). They’re nylon hiking pants though, so not something I’m running through briars in if I can help it however I’ve found myself in some crappy situations and while they off little leg protection they haven’t ripped yet. Triple aught design also has some heavier duty pants but I haven’t tried any of them as of yet. Prometheus Design works is similar and uses the same materials. I’d like to give wintergreen northern wear pants a try eventually here as well.

Search “cottage industry outdoor cloths” or “cottage industry back packing/hiking” cloths or something along those lines. There’s a bunch of companies out there making some really good stuff with top of the line materials. There aren’t a ton of actual options out there: there are only so many fabrics and a lot of the company’s use the same source for fabrics and just throw a different label on them after their personal design.

I mentioned it to the original commenter but I’ll mention it here as well. I got a pair of Filson double tin chaps for upland game hunting and had them in tatters after 3 years. They’re for sure cool looking but if you’re gonna be wading through briars on the regular they will wear out

I had a pair of Filson double tin chaps for upland game hunting. They were in tatters by year 3. The waxes canvas is cool and all but it’s not indestructible by any means IMO
