[QUOTE="BearDog, post: 928999, member: 41680"] I'll echo what 82nd said. I think people also tend to get into a mode and bring every "just in-case" item they own. Are you counting your rifle weight in that total lbs count? Places I cut weight since my first backpack hunting trip are... Rain gear...I go light weight over quiet. I like Kryptek Poseidon Ammo...I dont take a full box me. Ten Rounds. Food...One meal per day. Plus snacks Knives...I take a havelon and a Multi-tool Clothes....Ultra light weight walk in gear, then what you will hunt in. You dont need a fresh set of clothes each day. Youre gonna smell like crap no matter what. Tent....Light weight tents are a must and there are tons of options. Also, I think it is a must to hunt with a buddy. Not only for safety, but to split up things like tent, stove, water pump. With Rifle on my back, my pack is about 35lbs. [/QUOTE]
