True, but I wouldn't be suprised you are packing atleast twice the weight of food you think you are...
20 pounds for 3 people for a week is still very lean on the calorie count IME.
Nope. Not the case.
So....Wife and I sat down and finally viewed this thread....she told me we pack 10 pounds of food for three of us for a seven day hunt. I didn't prompt that response, I asked her open-endedly, and she said exactly what I shared here.
She broke it down as well.
Cous cous, oats, soup mix, ramen type noodles....granola. Ten pounds is A LOT of dried food. Water is cheap, and available where we camp.
She was as shocked as I was with some of the weights you guys are packing into the mountains. 42# pounds of food?
Crazy.
Now I'll add...Given I drew Terror lake for goat this Fall, we'll be bringing at least 2-3 times the normal in food for a main camp.
Seldom do we have access to transportation via floats right to our hunting grounds like this year. We'll eat like kings and hopefully bring nothing out but nature's finest protein.
Spike camps will get the lightweight treatment...
