Its not even your thread. Its a forum, discussions are created and questions are asked and then answered. Same could be said about criticizing someone gear list and pack weight and then posting a gear list that is lacking in quality

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

One thing I always bring with me is dramamine. I have a hard time falling asleep at night and always think bears are going to eat me  :chuckle: Just take a couple of those and pass right out.

The problem I have had over the years is that I have all off season to plan, and organize, buy and pack. I cover all the bases, or so I thought. Then a mile in somewhere I want to start shedding gear. Even with my day pack for day hunting from a truck camp,... by weeks end, half of my stuff is tossed into a bag in the truck and left behind. I end up the hunt with bare minimum of essential gear in my day pack, way lighter. Should have started this way from the start.... So what do you think happens next year? Same thing.

You would think I would learn...  :bash:

Hey, Dansk

Original post updated with weight... pack, sleep gear, possibles, etc is around 28#, and includes 32oz of h20. I think mtn house are 3 packs/pound, so maybe add 2-4lbs of food?  ...brings it to 30#-ish?

Excludes optics and rifle.
