Are you taking a roll of duct tape? If so think about this. Take your trekking poles and right below the handle wrap it around as much as you want. Then it is readily available and you are not carrying the whole role or even half. I would not get carbon poles either, they are 2X the price and are only 4 or 6 ounces lighter.
It was more mine are failing and I have my brothers spare pair that would probably be mine for a 6-pack.
on the duct tape, about 10 feet wrapped around an empty TP roll (with paper towels shoved inside)

Post by: Huntbear on July 21, 2009, 07:38:55 PM

Most importantly Game Bages in Archery season to keep the flies off your meat. Not much point in shooting something if the flies are going to blow it.
1. tags for game you are hunting.
2. Knife for gutting and quartering.
3 rope to tie it all together to get it out.
tape
toilet paper (been bandaged up many times with electrical tape and tissue paper)
emergency kit (of course that has its own list)
food and water
that should get you through almost anything affield.

Theres alot of gear that I'd like to take(like a first aid kit) but the packs already to heavy and I have to have room to pack out game in it.

I pack three days food (not shown), all dried - just add hot water.
The entire pack with food weighs 34 lbs. I also include a small water bladder.
Instead of this cooking pot I now use the Heineken pot. It's extremely light & compact; the entire cook kit fits right in it.
