[QUOTE="Blacklab1, post: 2297252, member: 117691"] October 9th I’m leaving for my first elk hunt in Colorado. We’ll be hunting with a guide at 12,000 feet and are limited to 40lbs that we can pack into camp minuses rifle and sleeping bag. I hunt in the east from stands/blinds so I had to buy a lot of new packable clothing and don’t have any way to field test it before I leave. Most of what I have is light to mid weight and layers nice (up to 4 layers is comfortable). I have a total of 6 tops and 6 bottoms (plus a light set of long Johns for sleeping) ranging from Sitka, Kuiu, Browning and Cabalas. I was wondering if I should try to cut down on some other stuff to add more clothing. Here’s a list of what I’m planning on taking: 1 Accu Tac bipod 1lbs 4oz 1 box ammo 1lbs 8oz 1 boo boo bag (Advil, bandaids etc.) ….1lb 1 Leupold 10x42 binoculars 1lbs 13oz 1 thermos 1lbs 1 pillow 1lbs 1 personal hygiene bag 2lbs 2oz Hand/foot warmers 2lbs 10oz 1 battery charger for phone, flashlight and headlamp 2lbs 1 headlamp 7oz 1 flashlight 5oz 1 knife 7oz 1 rangefinder 6oz 1 pair extra boots 3lbs 5oz Socks, hats and gloves 2lbs 8oz 1 pair sunglasses in hard case 6oz 3 power bars (just incase) 8oz 1 fire starter kit 8oz 1 emergency Bivy 9oz That’s around 24lbs and my clothes weigh in around 18lbs so I think I’m close enough since I plan on wearing some of the clothes riding in. Is there anything I should change, add, subtract? …….I forgot to add the packable rain gear. I didn’t weigh it but I think it’s less then a pound……. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
