[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2683276, member: 29323"] I just noticed this was in the backpack forum. I have a 6 man 11 lb. Kifaru TP tent with a tiny stainless steel wood stove. In cold or wet weather it is a lifesaver. They make less expensive versions now. Although it says 6 man, it is comfortable for two with gear and a bit of firewood. But when it snowed, we had 4 men in it for breakfast. For early season hunts, I have a 3 sided silnylon tent that works really well and weighs 13 oz. Don't let people tell you you need a 7 lb. $400 pack to hunt with. My hunt pack weighs 3-1/2 lbs. and will hold 75 lbs. of meat. I paid $20 for it at a gun show. If you bone out your deer, you don't need a frame pack. As far as comfort, buy a pack, fill it with 45 or 50 lbs. of lead or dirt and walk with it. I've found nothing better for getting in shape for a hunt. You get used to the straps cutting into your shoulders and after a while don't notice it. You will notice it a bit when carrying 75 lbs, but it won't bother you nearly as much. It builds up those uphill calf muscles that you need as well. Endurox R4 is a magic elixir that relieves muscle aches and increases endurance. I swear by it. [/QUOTE]
