What's in your backcountry pack?

[BGbowhunters]

I've been looking around the web to see what some "professional" backcountry hunters have in their pack, but it's sometimes hard to rely on their opinion because of sponsors. I was wondering what most of you guys have in your backcountry pack. I don't mean everything because that'd be a long list, I mean the large items like sleep system, shelters, pack, cooking equipment, etc.

Lemme tell ya about my favorite new item... An EE "Convert" Quilt. -10 Duck down (850). Oh, baby. So light. So warm. Not cheap, but worth it for me.

One thing i like to carry when the situation calls for it is my lite outdoors titanium tent stove. It is about 2.5# so no small weight penalty but if you are solo, tending the fire, gathering wood, etc sure helps to keep me busy. Also nice way to dry out if needed.

Mountain hardwear UL2, Mountain hardwear flame 15 degree, big Agnes q core sleeping pad. Also love my platypus gravity filter. Usually hunting with 2 or 3 of us. When you can base up with 8L of water it makes it nice.

Stuff i find on sale, usually at sierratradingpost.

This is what I'm rocking for right now for August - September backpacking trips.

Sierra Designs Zissou 12 Degree Down Bag
- Looking back, I would buy a synthetic. It doesn't pack down as small, but in an emergency situation I'd still be warm. Plus I have a synthetic puffy and a down pant.

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad
- Not the best, but doesn't break the bank and I haven't had it leak yet. Knock on wood.

Kifaru Supertarp w/ Annex
- BA shelter. Super roomie when I'm solo (most of the time). If I was consistently going with someone else, I'd upgrade to a Sawtooth.

Kifaru Timberline 2 (Internal Frame)
- I have a Guide Lid and two medium belt pouches that go on the side. Most comfortable pack I've ever worn.

Jet Boil
- Easy to use and store in my pack. Hasn't failed me yet. I got it as a gift, but if I was to buy my own I'd go with an MSR.

Other things I always bring that make a big difference.

Alite Monarch Chair
- Long glassing sessions and sitting around camp at night this thing is worth its weight in gold. Having back support in the backcountry is a game changer!

Delorme Inreach
- Where I hunt I'm almost always out of cell coverage. This brings a peace of mind not only to my family, but to me as well.
