[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 215218, member: 4191"] Your guide should be in the best position to tell you what you'll need to bring. Good boots and socks a must. Some gloves to protect your hands from scrapes and cuts on the rocks. A good backpack, rain cover, and rain pants and jacket. Stocking cap for sleeping. A comfortable sleeping pad and bag that you can get some rest in during the night. I'll disagree about the 10x50 binoculars. Too big and too much weight. You'll have a spotting scope. If your guide doesn't provide a spotting scope then find another guide. I take Swarovski 8x20 binoculars. Very compact and light. Convenient. The binoculars are used to help look for sheep and just pleasure viewing in general. A spotting scope to determine if they're legal rams or otherwise. Again, your guide knows how much flying, horseback riding, backpacking, stream crossings, etc. to expect. Whether you'll be in a spike camp most of the hunt or in a larger more comfortable tent. He should be able to provide you with a list of essential gear. I agree with getting in shape unless you're in your 20s and active. If your late 30s or older and you don't get in shape then you'll only handicap yourself on a sheep hunt. Hope you get some decent weather. It can make all the difference in the world. Good luck to you and pester your guide for a list of essentials you're expected to provide. [/QUOTE]
