    My old Elmer Fudd hat, that I wear when it rains, is dying the death of the slow unravelling.

    I don't want anything that obviously screams "hunting hat!", I just want something to keep my head and eyes dry in the rain (I hate umbrellas). Solid color, preferably not blaze orange.

    Any recommendations for places to look online? Should I just hit Cabela's?

    I would go with wool, too.

    You can always start a fire and boil water in it by throwing in heated rocks. :techman:
