It will be two of us hunting muleys in late October in the mountains. We would be looking at camping about 5 miles from the trailhead and about 2000ft higher. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'">We have both camped many times but always in places we could get to with my Polaris Ranger or river boat so we weren't packing this light. After we get gear purchased we will do a trial weekend and test it all. For our hunt we would be looking at packing in one day and hunting that evening, 2 full days, the next morning and packing out. We would take the rest of that day and night in town to wash clothes, clean up, rest, and then repeat the hunt. Each trip would be 3 nights out. Here is my list of what I am looking at taking in including all the camping gear and my personal hunting gear. My friend will carry half the camp weight and his own gear. Anything that has a price next to it is something that we have not purchased yet, but intend to. I listed weight in pounds/ounces on most items and rounded anything short of a full ounce up to keep the estimate on the high side. If anyone experienced at this has time to review my list and offer advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your help.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'">Backpack hunt gear complete list (all oz rounded up)</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Shelter</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Kifaru Paratipi w/ parastove</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'">-combine for 5lb/13oz shelter $787</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Tent floor</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px">-Grabber space blankets (use 2 5x7" 11oz each for 22oz)</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Sleeping bag - I don't think I could sleep in a mummy bag without being claustrophobic about being that restrained.

I’ve packed 80-120lbs of elk in a trip a few times, so I think I could handle this. I think we could get camp and one deer out in a trip with two of us, or if we both kill we could make two trips.
