    Lightweight Gear List

    AK Troutbum - Thanks for the catch on the weight of the rings - definitely my mistake - will fix. I'm sure there are other typing errors to catch in the list - like my error of completely leaving out blaze orange. I need to update the list with all the good comments / suggestions above...

    Lightweight Gear List

    Kids are too small, but I've tried to talk my wife into being my pack mule - so far she hasn't fallen for it. She loves to camp, but not yet ready to backpack hunt. Eventually I'll talk her into it.

    I actually have an EE -10F quilt on the way for colder days. The 20 degree I've only had out to about 15 degree F with good results. I'm a very warm sleeper though.

    oenanthe, WOW! You have my dream pack. It's a work of art. Is their a picture from the front too? You really need to create a thread on how you made that masterpiece! I have somehow missed it in previous posts. I was honestly thinking about getting a cuben/dynemma dry bag and trying to...

    Lightweight Gear List

    I can totally relate. I was on a hog hunt a few years ago and my scope got bumped on the ride in. I couldn't hit a 5 gallon bucket at 50 yards... I'll always have extra ammo in the truck / gun case. Luckily I also had my old 30-30 with me too. Buck horn sights got me two hogs that weekend...

    Lightweight Gear List

    Wow! Love all your suggestions - particularly the Granite Peak Tripod and the Aergon Photo Adapter. I'm currently running a GoLite Hex Tipi, and the pole jack is clutch. Still need to buy the tent and pack above. I need to add everything you've listed above. Its amazing how you feel like...

    Lightweight Gear List

    Joe - I was looking at your stoveless food list. I was recently watching the new movie on the Journal of Mountain Hunting - "Toeing the Line" goat hunt (link below) and their camera man Steven Drake (he has a nice video blog on youtube) discussed how he didn't pack enough food for the mountains...

    Lightweight Gear List

    Tag_Soup, Thanks for the pointers! I still need to dial in the list a little, and your suggestions are great. I love my prana zions, and the Costco UB tech pants (if you haven't tried them for $20). Tops P001 looks like an awesome knife (might be out of my price range till Christmas), and...

    Wow! Those slippers look amazing! Definitely going on my "need to buy list." Only $38 too. I can wear them in the cabin at whitetail camp too. Thanks for the tip!

    Joe - I found your website with your 2017 gear list and stoveless hunting article - very helpful! I've tried the Greenbelly Meals2GO, and they are delicious - almost like a rice crispy treat. I think you article was the reason I had mentioned going stoveless to begin with. Lighterpack.com...

    My buddy from Minnesota can't get off work for very long, so realistically 4-6 days. He's definitely carrying the spotter though if we take it.

    Lightweight Gear List

    Thanks everyone! I love the idea of ditching a lot of the clothing, guide jacket, gaiters (or replace with lighter sitka ones), Swiss army, and spotter. Great input about the warmth of the Charma. I have a sitka core heavyweight for duck hunting that I love. I have the Kuiu Peleton Zip offs...

    Lightweight Gear List

    Wanted different opinions on a gear list that I've been developing. My buddy and I are going on a guided horseback elk hunt in Montana Bob Marshall this October, but we are inspired by the multiple stories on this site to go on a DIY backpack hunt possibly next year. Trying to put together a...
