[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2299530, member: 33850"] Having been at 12,000+ft, I would not want to pack a lot of stuff. It's fun running around up there, at least it was for me. It isn't a boy scout camp. I don't use pillows anymore, just a shirt or coat. My sleeping bag has a hood on it that works great for making a pillow. I would wear the lightest footwear you can get away with, because weight on your feet will wear you down more than anything else. Have a nice wide padded sling on your rifle. A fanny pack is nice for quick access items. I have more fun when I pack light. I was supposed to go elk hunting in utah this year, but had too much going on. I would have taken my rifle, a box of ammo, a knife or two, a lighter, my shoes, a couple changes of clothes, a jacket, flashlight/batteries, maybe a sleeping bag, and a thermos. Thats about it. There isn't much at 12k anyway as far as firewood or critters. I was at 12500 several years ago and was WAY above the tree line. Just rocks and grass/moss and clouds. We were above them and that was COOL! [/QUOTE]
