Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Newbie to backpack hunting looking for help with setup........

Hi All,

I have been hunting for 21 years but would like to start back pack hunting in the near future. I live in NJ and hunt here and this year will hunt the Adirondacks with a friend. We have also been purchasing preference points in Wyoming for a few years planning a few trips there. So far I have purchased the Kifaru Sawtooth tent and medium stove with mosquito net. I am looking for recommendations on sleeping bag, sleeping pad, pack and a good packable down jacket. Please let me know thoughts and suggestions on these and any other items you feel important to mention. I am 6'3" and 220lbs when recomending gear.

I like the kifaru 0 degree slick bag but not sure about the weight for a long bag.

I also really like the kifaru G2 siwash bag if anyone is selling one.

I have no idea about the sleeping pad, or down jacket.

Thanks for your help in advance...
