    Make My Pack More Efficient

    Agreed. The actual savings wouldn't be 14oz. I would need to add an adapter to the Kowa and I use a case on my Leupold which I would use on the Kowa as well. Definitely appreciate the advice, but I'm pretty set on the Gold Ring at the moment.

    Vortex or Leupold Spotting Scope under 1000?

    I agree with everyone above. I use the Leupold Gold Ring 12-40x60. I picked it for its weight and pretty dang good glass. I bought mine off of Locked & Loaded for less than $1k.

    Man yeah there are supposed to be grizz in the area. You definitely make a good point though. I'm not sure how quickly I could get my gun off my pack, a bullet loaded, and fire if a grizz was coming at me. If I ditch the bear spray, gun cover, and pack cover that would save 19.58 oz. So that is...

    Make My Pack More Efficient

    So I updated my food list and I think I'm on the right track. I weighed everything out and split up each day individually because my dinners are all a bit different. I'm still a little scared to drop the candy bars in case my blood sugar drops, which it most likely will. Breakfast: Greenbelly...

    Yeah for sure. Definitely a good point. I get scared of not having some of the sugar just because my blood sugar tanks when I’m hiking and as a type 1 diabetic, low blood sugar out in the wilderness is no bueno.

    All great advice! I do have extra lighter and matches in my random med kit. I do have a sawyer squeeze (not the mini) and it was like .02 ounces more than the steripen. I most definitely won’t need the puffy pants during the day. The reason I was thinking of bringing them is I’m packing my WM...

    Oh for sure. And yeah I just weighed a full roll of TP but I’m not gonna end up bringing that much. I’ll look into lighter pots but this is a pretty dang small and light titanium pot!

    I definitely appreciate the advice. I think I’ll definitely bring some dehydrated food and change up my menu some more.

    That’s great advice! And I’ll definitely check out Greenbelly. I was hoping for some more food advice so much appreciated.

    Yeah for sure. Not a bad idea!

    Good call. I have my poles listed under the "worn" list just because I'll be carrying/using them the whole time. I use the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Corks. Yeah I planned on just one extra pair of socks and added that 2nd pair to the list last night. Those and the puffy pants will be decided...

    Thanks man. Yeah that's kinda where I'm at with the rifle. The reason I like this bipod is I can use it from a sitting position if needed. I haven't thought about a thermocell. I'll definitely look into it. I definitely don't want to get eaten up.

    Here's the initial food list. This will probably change but this will get me started. Number Weight/Unit Total Cals/Unit Total Cals/Day Mountain House 6 5.1 30.6 460 460 Snickers Bar 6 2.07 12.42 250 250 Milky Way Bar 6 1.84 11.04 264 264 Honey Stinger 12 1.2 14.4 150 300 Pop...

    Going on an Idaho bear hunt the end of May and I'm trying to dial in my pack for 6 days out. Any suggestions are definitely appreciated. I'm still trying to figure out my food situation so I'll post that once I do the math. Couple side notes--I'm going with my brother and he is carrying the...
