high country:
well with the high buck coming on, I thought I would toss up a pic of what is in my pack for a 5 day journey into ___________ wilderness area. I extended the tripod as I know there are guys asking about ultra light tripods. mine is a carbon set of legs wearing a giottos head.....both were pretty cheap for what they are.  the tent is a black diamond betamid.....bout as light as you casn get and still have any protection and a zipper. big agnes rem pad.....way small and as long as it stays above 10* it is the most comfortable I have used yet. the bag is a 1/4 zip moonstone, a pain to get in and out of, but super light and compact. food is freeze dried and instant as I only boil water, the little primus stove is self igniting and pretty light, not ti light, but it is self igniting and paid for. I added my cannon hv 20 for some video this year, otherwise all the gear is proven to me. not a lot of extras, but plenty of what I need. I included a bug suit, and a pair of convertable pants so I get two for one there.

not pictured is baby wipes and wepon. other than that, this is it.

gonna guess 30ish pounds. the mystery ranch pack makes it dissapear pretty well.

MichaelJ:
SWEET stuff man... I think I'll be going in with around 35 or so not including rifle...

I'll get a list up here shortly with mine... I just need to pick up a tripod...

Also, why the bug suit?  I've never run into bugs after the first week of september in the highcountry....

high country:
michael, I normally don't get into many bugs either, but I feel this year has been more moist then years past, and I am going into uncharted waters, so I can always toss it if need be, now on the flip side if I bathe in deet I smell even worse and I run the risk of ruining some gear. the suit is more bulky, but the weight penalty is within a couple ounces, so I errored on the side of caution.

high country:
you can see it in the second pic, it is right between my spare pants and shirt. it is about the size of a pair of socks and weighs about the same as my aqamira drops.

Little Fish:
Youf load looks similar to what I'll be carrying. I think I'm around 35 lbs without rifle as well. What kind of shelter do you use? Also, what spotting scope is that and how do you like it?
