GF wants her first hunt to be a high buck
Ltburrows:
So my girlfriend and I are going to be hunting high buck this year. it’s her first hunt and she has very limited experience with backpacking but her fitness level isn’t what worries me. My main concern is her pack weight. As an 80lb woman she won’t be able to pack much weight. In the past I’ve always had a partner to split the load with for 2 people but with her I’ll have to carry the majority of the gear for both of us. With that in mind what should I set her up with in her own pack(besides her essentials maybe have her haul my day pack?

THinking of her size as one of my kids in the early days, Id say she pack all of her own items and you get all of the camp items, plus your items, plus+++.

I agree with Bone. I would have her haul all her own clothing and food. You carry all your stuff plus camp. Also it would probably be a good idea to cut out any non essentials like your day pack. Just use your main pack even while hunting.

That’s kinda what I was thinking. My dry weight is already 25lbs without rifle for a solo. All I’ll have to change is the sleep system and add another pad and bag. Any other ideas?
