I like it. That's a good amount of food for me. I usually end up eating a bigger lunch instead of all that at dinner but that seems like a good amount.

I do carry rain pants as it rains every day where I've hunted in Colorado high country.

I do carry a way to make firewood (tomahawk this year) mostly just so I can have a pile in a dry spot throughout the trip. I triple up on the lighters too.

I have some alcohol wipes that i figured would double as a fire starter. Also a flint and steel and space blanket in my first aid kit.

I like to have a bottom base layer. 140-200 weight merino. I wear under my pants morning and evening and can also sleep in if its cold at night.

If it were me I'd ditch the extra release, spare head torch, Allen keys, pen with flagging and extra arrows.

I'm comfortable using my Lucy lantern emrg as my back up light and tent light.

Also on the camera, if it's just a point and shoot your better off with your phone.
That's my thoughts anyway

Its a high end point and shoot and i will be videoing as much of my hunt as i can. Will also be taking a go pro with extra batteries.

Your pack will weigh whatever it weighs. Cutting things out to shave weight isn't a good idea unless you're absolutely comfortable without that item. Some hints you'll be heavier than others simply due to location, terrain, or weather. You can't control that unless you simply don't go. Every trip out should be enjoyable, but also a learning experience at what worked and what didn't, but also why.

Go enjoy your hunt and good luck.
