Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Staying warm in a tent

I don't mind the hiking in and out that many miles each day. Back to the beginning...I do mind Carrying an unneeded extra load back out that many miles if I happen to score a large kill. It could make the difference of bringing the Meat back in one trip or having to make two trips.

Now don't get me wrong...I have hiked out and stayed the night many many times. But with our weather here during season there is no need for more than a Ground Tarp, a Heavy Blanket, a Canteen and a Big Bag of Trailmix.

In fact I used to go out the afternoon before and hole up in a spot where the "Morning Hunters" would drive the animals right in front of my position.
