Lots of good advice already provided....heed it....most good guides will have the basics you need but don't depend on that.... ..sheep hunting can be grueling so get into the best shape possible and keep a positive attitude....think ppine above said it best in his last Sentance. Have spent several Alpine hunts in a tent for numerous days, last one for 72 hrs straight... Take a few paperback books with you, you can only stare at the roof of a tent for so long before losing your mind. Enjoy your hunt, and take lots of pictures
