[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2845649, member: 116439"] If you are going for a while and need to take everything get the bigger pack. I, at one time, did a lot of back country and used a [B]Lowe Alpine Contour IV 90+15[/B] don't worry about the 4000 to 6000 for weight, unless you are trekking many miles and at altitude. When we would do an expedition we would even cut out the labels on our underwear and weigh everything to the gram. Back pack was 80#s and sled 70#s. Could have enough for over one month. Depending on what & where you are going, I suggest getting a pack and putting the weight you will be carrying and finding some really steep hills. Then find a big truck tire and put a rope through it, tie it to your loaded pack and drag it behind you. Do several miles every day uphill for a few months to get in shape. Then you will have the endurance to have a Back Packing trip and when all is done you will and can say you had the experience of a lifetime and possibly a Trophy Animal to add to the trip. DO NOT UNDERSTAMITE your ability to do a Pack Hunt for a week! (or even several days) All depends on if you are going it alone or havening a Guide bring most equipment. If you want to talk about Back Woods Traveling send me a PM. Thanks Len [/QUOTE]
