Post up your Pack in Packlist......

[dihardhunter]

38.9 pounds. 7 days of high country early elk season. That's me naked plus everything...food, water, weapon, boots, pack, etc. 3 items are split weight between me and my partner. It's not necessarily a luxury setup, but the minimalist approach works for us.




I know some will say, where's your binos? where's your extra underwear? where's your spotter? where's your XYZ? Those options have been considered and are staying at the truck/house.

Toilet paper??? Backpack? First aid kit? Knife? gamebags? sleeping bag? Tarp? Tent? GPS? Just curious...

Thanks for the update on your list 25C. I've been following a few of you veterans for my first pack-in hunt. 6 more days!!

 

[Timberstalker]

Very impressive list 25! I don't think I could ever be that organized and planned out, I have never went on a 7 day pack in hunt either. I may pack in for a few days while in Wyoming, my list is very, very short compare to yours though. I hope I survive!

 

[25contender]

Everyone says I pack in to much stuff but I am in for the duration and want to be some what comfortable for those seven days. I used to pack in about 10 more lbs but have been upgrading equipment for the last few years. the older stuff was just getting to heavy for these older bones!!

 

[25contender]

Ok so I did a little work last night and got down to 58lbs with the Video stuff and Tripod. Lost some unneeded stuff-sacks and holders for things like the gps, spot, folding knife etc.

 

[Drhorsepower]

I carry way too much camera equipment

 

[Bonecollector]

25C,
Does this include water and gun?

It includes everything except my bow arrows or release. I will be carrying it in my hand this year.

Here is my packlist for a 4 day excursion. I have made some improvements this year, but have some room to improve. Allowing for quite a bit of water on this trip. We want to sit on top for a couple days. I wanted to show my optional items so people could see what i was leaving behind. I didn't list the binos, because they never go in the pack. I should add them on for clarity and tag as a "W".
