What is your sleep and cook system?

I have gotten this question in a few forms and fashions so i figured I would answer this question from the entire group of hunters in the office.

We will start with Guy and Ike, and then move on down the list. As I get some information from a few of the other field guys I will add that as well.

Great lists and topic! What packs are they using?

An interesting thing might be to dump their packs and list everything including old food wrappers!

Ike, Guy, and Brandon primarily use Eberlestock. Dan Turvey likes Eberlestock as well, my choice is usually a Kifaru, Paradox, or Stone Glacier. I have an Eberlestock VX90 Battleship sitting in my office that will be put through the paces soon.

Specifically, I am in love with the Eberlestock Blue Widow. I've said it in previous posts, but I feel it's an excellent combination of features I need in a pack for all western hunting scenarios from day hunts to extended backcountry trips.

Stove- whisper lite international (10+ Yrs old)
Tent- Sierra designs Omega (also 10+ yrs old)
Sleeping bag- slumberjack 30* guide series (you guessed it 10+)
Sleep pad- 2/3 therma rest trail lite "self deflating"

I'm looking into "new" everything but all my old gear has taken a beating and performed well for years.
A stove, pad and bag are on the replacement list, stove can stay if need be cause it still works fantastic.
