[QUOTE="clownbuster, post: 1449776, member: 22486"] Your weight sounds right. The vids from Exo Mtn are a great start. You have to be the total package to hunt in the backcountry. Invest in yourself and your gear. #1! Get in and stay in great shape. Won't matter how light your pack will be when 50 lbs feels like 150 to you in any steep country. #2 Pack only the absolute necessities and forget the rest. And #3 if possible, then invest in the best top quality ultra-lightweight gear you can afford. It's comical to me and my crew how many guys we see are lopsided on one of these areas. They will have a full spectrum of the latest Sitka gear, 1000 yard Proof factory rifle and bellies that literally hang over their belts and can't climb from here to there. Or in decent shape but can't get far with their heavy, limited gear and open sight 30-30 Marlin dad left them because they're frivolous with their money. Backcountry hunting is best enjoyed far away from others, so do whatever it takes to get yourself to that point. [/QUOTE]
