[QUOTE="HellsCanyon, post: 715622, member: 50929"] What does your gear list look like? Shelter/sleep system? Clothing list? Bring extra socks and underwear and wear everything else day after day. This is where a merino wool base layer works awesome as you don't stink at all and it is warmer when wet and driers real quick as well. Did you guys really carry in your rifles in rifle cases? It almost looks that way in one of the pictures. Get rid of that thing! Its a field rifle and if a little rain/mud/dirt would cause it to fail, get a different rifle. What kind of food are you bringing? Try to keep your calories/weight ratio around 100 calories per ounce of food. Should keep you under or around 2.5 lbs of food per day EASY. However food is one thing I will not worry too much about weight if going for less than 5 days. You can always eat it before coming out and not having enough sucks! But start counting calories and depending on what kind of hunting you're doing, shoot for anywhere between 2500-4000 calories per day. Looks like you guys had a good successful first trip which is what it is all about! 60+ lbs for a few days hunting is nuts though lol Mike [/QUOTE]
