Headed to Newfoundland for Moose

[RichP]

I'm headed to Newfoundland the 2nd week in October. Flying in to Deer Lake, then on a float plane to a remote camp. What do you guys pack for a weight limited trip like this. I am a classic over packer. I have a camp in Potter County, Pa and always bring back ups for my back ups!
Thanks for any advise!

Good luck, I'm headed there in 2021.

2 pairs of underwear, 5 pairs of socks, long underwear, rubber boots, camp shoes, rain gear, hunting clothing, soft sided gun case, gun cleaning kit, sleeping bag, toiletries, gun, knife, optics & shells. With all of the undergarments I would make sure they are merino wool. That is really all you need. I like clean socks everyday, but for the most part you can wash things in the lake and rotate through them.
You really don't need a lot of stuff when you go there.
PRO TIP: Pack as much as you can in your backpack (raingear, socks and long underwear, optics) in the event your luggage doesn't make it. My luggage didn't make it for 3 days and I was glad that I packed my stuff in the backpack. Something to think about. They can always lend you a rifle in camp if needed. Just need to be prepared in the event it also happens to you.

I am in the initial stages of planing a trip. What outfitter did you end of using?

I'm in the Germania area. Sounds like most of the gear I have. I'm also going up 2 days early to do a little sight seeing.

Take a little gun oil and keep your safety oiled. Two years ago my safety rusted fast from all the rain as I had a bull 50 yds broadside starring at me. Keep your gun clean. Also take best rain gear you can buy and lightweight layering system. Comfy rubber boots no hiking leather boots. I go every other year and drive up from Allentown.
