Yeah im still young but that sounds like a lot of work considering the fact that it would probably take a couple hours to get to were the animals are.

I would recommend trying it at least once before spending a bunch of money. It's not for everyone. I've taken a few guys that started out gung ho for back country hunting, but after taking them on a trip or two, they never went again.

If you decide you like it, spend the big money on a pack, boots, and optics. I can't stress this enough.

I was going to post something similar to this as well.  Why do you suddenly want to start backpack hunting?  I'm not going to lie, it's phenomenal.  But it's really **&*()(* hard. 

FTF and I train pretty much year round, and scout as much as well.  Think about having to take a 125+ pound load out over miles of rough country.  Then do it again for your partners animal. 

Not trying to dissuade you, just trying to save you some cash if it isn't for you :)

while i havent gone hunting in the backcountry, i have gone backpacking a lot and i used to buy all the new modern equipment, but now ive gone more traditional. i only really take a tarp to make shelter, food, a day worth of water, and tools (hatchet, knife, etc.) and ive stayed up to a week no problem. it might be a whole different thing hunting though

Well then you already know the basics!
