[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2268898, member: 61747"] Not a bad idea. Usually people are over or under prepared and the guide usually understand the climate better. Seems silly to be over prepared but it's like watching the wife pack for a 2 trip. Most of the crap isn't needed. Essentials is. I find it funny that someone would say they don't trust guides. Let's see, the guide gets paid by the hunter and the more successful and comfortable the hunter the bigger the tip. Usually its the guides who suffer the least while a stubborn hunter is the one complaining the most. The key is to put things in perspective. At home we have every comfort imaginable at our disposal. On the mountain we got what we got and usually it's limited to 50 lbs of gear. My 5-7 day hike in hunt is 55-65 lbs. If you can't do a guided hunt with meals provided in that range you got too much crap you don't need. FOR ME Need is (october rifle hunt with guide where shelter, water, food is provided) mid weight jacket light jacket vest long sleeve Pants Socks underwear base layer top and bottom gloves Hat- beanie Rain Jacket Rain Pant poncho air cell seat- used while glassing extra Boots Gaitors face cover Sleeping bag and air pillow Charger system- mentioned before Head lamp - batteries knife tags backpack bino's and harness GPS inreach system phone with nav apps and gps app Tripod- I use arca rails for glassing and use for rifle platform- take if there is room rifle with bipod ammo license/tags etc. multitool [/QUOTE]
