What you think of my gear list?

Chapstick

The one thing that as soon as I realize I forgot it, it feels like I need it even more.

2 cups peanut butter before hike out? Make sure you got alot of water with you.

 

[skindaddy]

what does everyone use/take in for lights is there a preferred model?

That's more food than I eat up there, but I also don't eat breakfast. And except for the Lasagna, not a fan of your other MH choices. Not sure you'll need the extra stuff for dinner beyond the MH.

I weighed all my stuff last night and got it all semi packed. 32# without water bow or my cameras

Isn't kinda pointless to be concerned about pack weight if your not going to include your bow and camera or anything else you're taking?

No because I can't get rid of those two. They are gonna be there no matter what. I may get rid of my Yukon pants and I've already ditched a little food. Plus I'm just curious a ball park of what my pack is gonna be. My bow doesn't go in my pack anyway

Fair enough, but it still has to be carried so I would think that it'd be counted in overall weight.

I don't count my weapon or what I wear in on my weight sheet. But I count everything else...

If cutting weight, on day 2, you've got over 2 lbs of food if you are distributing out the weight of the last two items on your list equally per day... At least you won't be carrying it long.

But you know what you eat. For me, I'd lose the extra pants as well.

I just noticed how much more the food weighs that day. I will have to check that today. It shouldn't be that much more.

Forecast is looking good so will probably leave my rain pants in the truck

Are the two white snap lock bags full of baby wipes? Looks like a lot, and if they're not dried you could save a lot of weight there.

If you smear a little Vaseline on your bung hole you can get away with one wipe per crap.

Lol one is wipes the other TP weigh 10 oz for the 2 bags.

No thanks on the Vaseline on my bung hole I would hate to slip wiping and accidentally give myself a prostrate exam.

Better yours than someone else's

 

[westernarcher]

On your last day you say 2 cups of peanut butter for that last snack. Is that a misprint?

Don't knock it till you try it

So right before you go? Like everyday? I would guess the tp saved here weighs less than carrying the vasoline?

Yep right before you go, then a touch up a couple days later. Also prevents monkey butt.
