[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1032430, member: 30902"] I appreciate your dilemma. I went with Mario on an Elk Hunt this year in NM and even though we were only working at around 9,000-9,500 feet the first 300' climb reminded me I'm not 12 or 15 any more and I can't bounce around those mountains like a Mountain Goat like I did when I was a kid! I was doing pretty well by the end of day three but the first hour damned near killed me! I think you'll probably find though you could have saved a lot of money on new gear once you reach your minus 80lbs goal. One thing I'd say is that going with the tarp instead of the tent is not something I would do at the elevations you'll be chasing sheep. Things can turn very cold and very wet in a hurry up there and if a tarp is your only means of shelter available it could turn into an incredibly miserable trip in a hurry. Best of luck on reaching your goal though. [/QUOTE]
