Any other equipment we should be looking into?
Pack - one that will haul the living load in, and the meat load out. JMHO, I prefer one that can be a bag pack, and a frame hauler for the bulk load. Brand - lots of opinions, try as many as you can, there are many folks with more experience than I on "what's best".
Layers - you'll be in single layers on the move, and you'll probably be sweating some even then, you'll need wicking and the ability to dry out if you get overheated. When you stop - typically - you'll be cooling off pretty fast.
What weather season are you expecting to be hunting in?
Ounces are pounds in the high mountains - cut weight where you can, decide early what is critical, and try it out well before you need it on the trip.
