[QUOTE="jmden, post: 717740, member: 1742"] Pack weight is so dependent on the type and location of hunt. My pack up to elk camp this year, with rifle, was right at 100lbs and we really don't pack in that far. But I had a 3+ TipiTent and stove (not the lightest setup, but incredible strong and comfortable--we had many good sized trees snap off 10' or so above the ground all over the area during windstorms over 2 nights, but the TipiTent had not one issue and with the Kifaru stove percolating along, we were nice and warm) and this is not exactly the lightest setup in the world, but very comfortable for a long stay, such as elk season. But where and how I elk hunt is much different from where and how I hunt deer and bear, mainly due to the several thousand ft. vertical involved and the the fact the deer and bear hunting is in late summer and much warmer than elk hunting. Gotta change the gear to the situation, no doubt about it. HellsCanyon, would you mind giving us a few of your equipment choices and why? Always trying to learn a few tips... [/QUOTE]
