[QUOTE="Cowboythunder, post: 1448481, member: 106035"] Sounds like you’re in the ball park. I did a 5 day mountain goat hunt with a buddy who drew a tag last year. My pack was about 43 pounds but I didn’t carry a rifle and my tent was only 1lb. I drew a tag this year and will be carrying a rifle and a better 3 lb tent. If all else stays the same with food, water etc.. I’ll be right around 55 pounds. Sounds like we take similar food. I’d be happy to stay under 50 lbs with a rifle. You can really cut some things out to lighten the load but some creature comforts are nice to have if you’re in shape! Things I took last time and didn’t need: Camp chair Seasoning for food Second water filter Things I wouldn’t go without: Headlamp Camp shoes/ lightweight sandals Trekking poles Gravity water filter (platypus) Phone charger Also don’t double up on items like spotting scopes and tripods, water filters, and things that can be shared.
