Good morning all.
I have a 7 day goat hunt on the books outside of Smithers, August 29th start date. It is a backpack hunt, with the outfitter setting up the spike camp before arrival, providing food, cooking gear and tents.
Thanks to everyone for earlier help with pack and E reader questions, as you can see they are on the list.
Since everyone likes to look at gear lists feel free to offer any suggestions to mine, as this is my first hunt of this style.
The pack seems to fit me well, and the rifle is a proven favorite, so those will stay as is.
The pack fabric is waterproof, but most gear will be in ZipLocs or ultralight dry sacks as well.
I am thinking about a lighter rain coat , as the stormfront has worked well but at 24 oz is a bit heavy, same as the pants. The Barney's jacket is the warmest coat I have ever worn and is light enough, and may be just the thing for wearing if the temp drops and the wind picks up. If not active I get cold pretty quick.
So, here is the list:
