Hey all,
Over this last winter, I've been slowly assembling my backpacking setup for the coming year. I usually road hunt, or have my side by side with me, so weight isn't an issue. I want to do some backpacking trips this year and need some advice. My pack is already at 32lbs and that's without water, weapon, clothes, and fuel. I know I need to downsize my heavy sleeping pad. I'm looking at an Xtherm for that. Not sure what else I can do. I know my pack is heavy, but I love my Badlands Vario pack...as much as it's hated, I just love it. I know I'm missing a bunch of other stuff on here as well, but this is just my starter kit. Still missing game bags, kill kit, etc. That's why I'm concerned about weight. Any other advice, please fire away!
Thanks!
