[QUOTE="Gene Jr., post: 474883, member: 15474"] Remember to share anything you can between the two of you. One first aid kit, one stove, one water filter, one cooking pot, one hunting knife, one spotting scope/tripod... I'm going on a walk in sheep hunt this fall and am going through the same process. Communicate with your hunting partner, work as a team. We are taking two rifles, one LR setup and one carry gun, but sharing as much of the rest as possible. It keeps the cost down a bit also if you're gearing up for the first time. I have a plastic storage bin that I'm accumulating all my stuff for the trip into. As I find something better/lighter I swap it out. Make sure to use everything ahead of time, carry it, practice with it, sleep out in the back yard with it. Do a day hike and set up camp, cook lunch, pack it all back up and head home. My hunting partner is in AK and I'm in PA. We don't have the chance to practice together but communicate by email and even send pictures of our gear to each other so there is a clear understanding of what each person is responsible for. Have fun with it! Getting ready is just as much fun as going and it can make your hunt so much more enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
