[QUOTE="Bullethead, post: 41838, member: 2639"] Dave, this is actually my first post on this forum... First I am with COBrad, I have done several full season backpack hunts and work hard at limiting my weight. If I am by myself I sleep in a bivy under a pine tree shelter. If there are two of us, like you will have, we take a small tent. Here's a couple items I won't go without: - 3 big pillow cases for putting de-boned meat into. The game bags aren't necessary. - Those boot sock thingys. My feet get soaked from hiking and they really keep the chill off the leather boots. If you do start a fire you can wear them while your boots dry. They are bulky but light and tie onto the back of my pack. - extra headlamp (I smashed one once) - Thermarest that converts to a chair. Being able to sit on something with good back support is a luxury I won't go without. - tarp or garbage bag to cover pack and boots at night. - my homemade dehydrated meals, vaccuum sealed. - a great water filter. Good luck! I took my girlfriend with me a a backpack hunt in SW CO two years ago. Her and my friends wife didn't stay the whole time, but it was very memorable to have them there. I can see Stewart Peak from one of the areas I hunt in 67, let us know how it turns out! [/QUOTE]
