So in 2 days I'm leaving to the west of Georgia , I'll be living the country life for one week , I haven't been there since I started bushcrafting thats quite a few years , the weather over there is most like in UK , high humidity , everything is wet and many rains, any advices ? I'll be hunting almost everyday and doing all bushy fun stuff , I may even stay on an overnight.
Advices needed

Much under-rated kit are good gaiters 
I wore mine for fieldwalking, and I was the only one with dry feet (and warm legs) day in day out.
Have fun out there

There's a massive difference between really cheap but incredibly hard wearing ones (you can get sweaty inside them) and the breathable (unless you get them too muddy) ones….which are not cheap.
The old army (and this goes back to before the Vikings) standard were leg wraps, puttees. Those protected and kept warm and dried off easily when you set up camp. Just two long lengths of wool cloth. Later ones were canvas though.
Type puttees into google images search and there are thousands
In the end I just bought the generic cheap camping shop ones for £6 or £7 the pair, and dried off my trouser bottoms in the evening. They took everything I worked through, from burns to bracken and gorse, heather to conifer woodlands, and they stopped the wet and wind dead and kept the mud out of my boots too.
I don't know what's available in your bit of the world though
These are the kind of things I mean
