[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1401096, member: 54178"] After reading Nate Simmons article on his gear list for backpack hunting as a hunting backpacker I have some thoughts. 1. I would have like to see a gear list like those that I would find in the Backpacking Light site, which include a [I]categorized[/I] list (pack, shelter, clothing, cooking, sleep system, etc.) with [I]weights[/I] for each piece of gear. 2. A "1st day" [B]total pack weigh[/B]t with all consumables including water 3. A sample menu for each meal of the day for say, 3 days. 4. A "wish list" for new gear he would like to have and a "discard list" for gear he has found non-essential. 5. His rifle/scope combo and weight Personally I would never take a spotting scope or scope/shooting tripod. My 10 X laser rangefinder binoculars are very adequate for spotting game at any distance I'm going to stalk to. The spotting scope and tripod are j[U]ust way too much weight [/U]considering the rifle and butchering gear that's added to a regular backpack gear list. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
