All the gear is around and I feel better prepared than I did for my first fiasco. Loaded out at 38lbs for a 5 day hunt. The wife will be going with me this time and her gear comes in at ~36 pounds rifle and all. Not an even distribution, but I do love her and all... That includes food, water and spotting scope (damn heavy spotter). Add rifle and I am at ~46 total for everything. I'm pretty happy with that, considering my first trip was 68 pounds! I'll give a full report when I return. Meanwhile…I am open to last minute advice if there is any to be had! -Dustin “Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.

It's always important to plan properly during our "global warming" period. Last edited by bigwhoop; 05/17/15. My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
