Looks quite like an ultralight setup.  What sleep system do you have there?

Vias is Starbucks instant coffee.

My sleep system is a Borah Bivy, Marmot Helium, Thermarest pro lite, and normally my shelter is a z packs hexamid solo plus, but FTF is bringing his sl5.

With water,extra batteries and an extra trail camera, I'm at 51 lbs for the weekend. I think I'll be closer to 54 when I depart for nine days on the high hunt.

Where do you put the bear?

I cant think of a wilderness in WA where you couldnt get to the same spot via a different trail in a shorter distance than 25 miles, sure there isnt a different trail that will get you closer to the same spot in less distance?

Road closures = Bike

its not that far straight in, you have to make a traverse once you hit the ridges to get to the chosen basin, thats where the mileage adds up.
