Not one to analyze and abscess over every detail.

I drew a big bull permit (Elk) in Washington state (Peaches Ridge). The angle I'm going to take is to go in light on foot and cover some ground. Once the Elk is down. My brother will bring my horses in for the pack out.

I'm not looking for Google-Fu experts! I'm looking for real world advice from having been there and done that. Price doesn't matter, what's ones life worth and or comfort worth in the extreme changing weather conditions here in the Great NorthWest?

I want a super lite weight/ compact sleeping system that is good to 17 degrees or so.

Please let me know your thoughts. I may need to pack it for up to 12 days.


All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.

The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.
