Guys, I am planning a backpack hunt in Arizona in November, I've done a lot of long hiking on the AT but I cannot find my packing list!!! I'm in the process of creating a new one and would appreciate anyone who has one they'd care to share. You can e-mail it to me at Greyfoxgunsmith aol.com Thanks in advance!! Sincerely.

Google Brady Miller gear list and Jay Scott gear list. Both have AZ specific lists on their respective websites and on hunt backcountry.

I have several different lists according to what I'm doing like camper camping, camper hunting, llama packing, etc. I have each item listed with 2 check boxes after it. When I start planning, I go down the list and put a check in the 1st box if I want to take it this trip. I check the 2d box when I pack the item.
