I would tell my younger self the following:
"From September 11, 2020 to September 20, 2020 you will be backpacking into the mountains to do your annual solo archery hunt for elk. Since you will see no elk for that particular ten day period, leave your bow, arrows, rangefinder, kill kit and other unnecessary items back at camp. It will just be wasted extra weight. Enjoy your hike."
