Got about 4800 tracks on the iPod. Got music covered.
Yeah but my truck has a tape player, reckon this means I'm going to have to put a cd player in it before October. And for the record, please refrain from bringing along the Milli Vanilli 8 track...

You guys need to make a road trip to Cabelas in Wheeling. I hear the prices are reasonable In the past 10 days, I've hit the Cabela's in Pennsylvania and Kansas City. Got a few things but mainly made a list of things to order online. Nice place to go and look around, though.

FM tuner for the iPod; works great.
Only you would know that Milli Vanilli ever had an 8-track...

I heard that VA has all of Obama's greatest stump speeches downloaded to the Ipod and gets a tingle down his leg when he listens to them

jds44, did you happen to record the weight of your pack/gear? I am backpacking next month in CO, elk, archery, and plan a somewhat similar list. I weighed it at the time, but can't remember it and didn't store the weight with the list. Sorry.

Thanks to everyone for the lists, very helpful.
Of the different types of bino harnesses out there, which ones are good/better/not worth buying?

The Crooked Horn bino system has worked well for me for years.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

This.... https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...5526391/1/Making_the_Most_of_it_SalvagedI have the same setup, MR pack with bino/acc pouch in front, works great. There's a lot to glean from A L's post on other equipment and cloths. http://www.alaskaguidecreations.com/binopack.htmJaret is a hunter like us and a good fellow, doubt he's getting rich but supply's a nice USA made product.

You might also consider a chest pack... Like these if you can find them... http://www.sierratradingpost.com/mother-still-hunting-chest-pack~p~2628t/ Or from hillpeople http://www.hillpeoplegear.com/Home/tabid/762/Default.aspxSearch fly fishing equipment too as there tend to be more chest packs/pouches for fishing that would work.

I use MRE's broken down for my daily use, but I believe there are better options for two or three day trips. I do not carry anything fleece, a light or heavy wool sweater is my choice. 100' of rope is about 60 feet more than I carry, and I leave all phones, in the truck. I carry three different fire starters, I want a fire if I need one. I have also carefully planned so that my portable radio, (when I have a partner) GPS, spare flashlight all take the same size battery. Head lamp takes triple AAA.
Great list

MRE's are great for elk hunting, I usually carry 1 in my daypack, along with an extra sandwich made fresh every morning, you never know. Camelbaks are great as well IMO to carry while hunting to stay hydrated. remember, keep it simple. don't pack individual things for every potential situation that could arise. take things that are versatile, light and small. at least for your daypack. if you're driving into a camp, then bring along cots, canvas tent with stove if possible. I like to premake meals and freeze them, such as pasta sauce with meat, chili or stew, things like that. good home cooked meals in a fraction of the time. some people really over think elk camp and bring WAY too much stuff they never use. Take a day or two and go camping, think about what you use the most and while you're there make a list. kinda puts you in the frame of mind and makes it easier.
