Gear List Review

[mburrows]

Here's my gear list for this year.  Ill continue to tweak it this summer before season gets here.

Anything new and improved out there that you cant live without that I should consider adding to my list? 

Should also add this list is for an elk hunt where big optics and tripod wont be needed.

Two rain jackets?
Saw necessary for cutting fuel to fit stove?
Fuel for stove?
Stocking cap?

Otherwise, looks pretty good.

Depending on what and where you are hunting the stove may not be necessary.  Check the weather.  I use to run short on food, but i learned that i am super pissed when i am on day three and my food sucks and am not looking forward to eating.  I just bring one lighter and matches.  Med kit is just some quick clot and some wrap and some band aids.  I also bring Melatonin if hunting alone for a long time.  I would bring more batteries.  My head lamp eats them up and its no fun running low.  I lost my knife once, so i bring (2) Havalons.

Whoops duplicate entry on the rain jackets. Good catches on the other items. I literally have do write it all down and cross it off as I pack things. Ive packed in only to realize I forgot my tent stakes

Running low on food will sink my spirits faster than anything.

One thing i also toss in my med kit is some super glue. Serves multiple purposes and can seal up cuts too.

Real talk here. I roasted in a 0° slick bag in Alaska in Feb. You sleep that cold that you need that much bag in September? And a wood stove in sept?

[trophyhunt]

Don’t forget your boots!  I also pack my crocks along so I can take my boots off after I’m done hunting for the day.

Regarding first aid...throw a few tampons in there. Most wounds in the field are puncture wounds.

[dilleytech]

That looks heavy. What’s the total weight?

[yakimanoob]

New and improved? 

Heck yeah!  https://www.bigagnes.com/Tiger-Wall-3-Carbon . 2 folks + gear and a true double-wall tent with vestibules, for 2 lbs flat. 

Who needs money anyway?

 

On a more serious note: I also question the value of a 0°F bag and the stove.  BUT I've never used a stove tent in my life, so there could be some magic I'm missing that makes it worth the weight 

Have fun out there!

[JimmyHoffa]

Can you double the tent stove as the cooking stove?

[Tbob]

If it’s a sept hunt, doubtful you’ll need the stove the heavy sleeping bag and the saw.
 But that’s just me. I usually throw a couple triple antibiotic ointment packets in  my first aide as well. They’re tiny, weigh nothing and might save your life, or a limb.

I use mine for creek crossings also

[X-Force]

If rain is in the forecast I would drop the chama, but I don’t like thick wet wool. If it’s dry it’s a nice piece.

What is the second sheet of tyvek for?

4 lighters?

[Karl Blanchard]

I keep a lighter in my pocket, my bino harness, one in my top lid, one in my main bag and one in my fire kit. I won't hate on the lighters👊
