2018 backpack hunting gear

Also how do you like the OR backcountry organizer?  I've been looking at that for awhile, pondering if it's actually worth the $$.

You have it listed at 5oz, which is surely not correct?  Is it actually 5 oz??

I own a couple small, sit pad size z lites, I like the full size. Extra insurance on not popping a pad and if it does happen, one guy can sleep on 2 z lites pretty dang cozy.
Pretty sure the 5 oz is accurate. I ran all the contents of it in a KU medium pullout for quite a few years and when it finally fell apart, I made the switch. It's probably the only part of my kit I really like the finite organization in. Imo, itsceasily worth its weight

I like having the foam around camp and glassing but I'm not sleeping on just that

Winterlite AND the z-lite is a pretty darn toasty pad setup.  You mentioned this being for summer bear, so maybe you'd be fine with just the winterlite? 

Have you seen the Thermarest Z-seat?  I use that for glassing, and at $15 and 2 oz, it's hard to beat...

It may seem crazy, but a few trips into the woods with a popped pad will usually change your opinion.

That being said it’s extremely versatile.  It allows for comfy naps and allows you to stretch out on wet ground without getting soaked.

Once I started packing it, I’ve never stopped.

The extra “jacket” is no worse then a mid layer.  It’s certainly not a jacket in the traditional sense 🤷‍♂️

I don’t see cigarettes on your list. WTF over...

The day has finally arrived. Last minute changes include my rifle instead of travs, so he’ll carry camp gear and the bulk of the wine

I don't think you'll ever mention wine on a backcountry hunting trip, and not have me laugh a little on the inside.

You're a classy guy.  Good luck to you guys!

Not sure if that is how you will strap your rifle, but you might consider running the upper strap/buckle beneath your scope.  Always makes me nervous to cinch down over my scope.  Just a thought.  Otherwise I dig your kit.

That strap is probably the least of the worries for any scope I own.. 😬😬

Have you seen nightforces latest torture video?

Is that a home brew bag on a SG frame?
