    Calories per day?

    I typically run hot thanks to my family genetics of a fast matabolism. This year for our fly in I'm packing 26-3k cal per day, with some extra snacks. I'd rather pack it out than run out of food. Expecially if the weather sets in and were delayed.

    Another Tenzing Question... 5000 or 6000?

    When I was in the same boat, Jay at Tenzing told me that the 6000 is adjustable for torso length so go with the capacity that you need. That being said I went with the 6000. I adjusted the torso to my size, tightened up the hip belt; there are two ways to tighten it per side, and it's good to...

    ordered me a tenzing 6000

    I've put a bit of time in with mine and overall I'm happy. I haven't packed it with gear for the upcoming hunt but I did put 60#'s in it for a 7 mile jaunt. It held up well, especially after I made some adjustments. There are some secret hip belt tighteners under the hip belt pockets that helped...

    Goat suit

    There's a guy I know in S.E. Ak who had pretty good success with wearing a tyvek suit for his goat hunts. Keep in mind that goats don't walk on two legs, so if you throw one on you might want to take it slow and appear to be a goat, chillin on the mountain., on four legs all hunched over. Might...

    Sawyer Inline Water Filter

    I'm using the Sawyer inline filter this year after seeing it in the field first hand last season. The fill and go aspect is to good to pass up and now you don't have to worry about a pump, batteries, or extra weight. Thanks for the info Luke!

    Worth the weight?

    i carried bear spray for a couple reasons, i found it to be affective at close - med range when accuracy may be challenged, i don't have a pistol, and it has been proven to be a great deterrent. Now I keep it in my house at an easy to reach place, just incase we get someone not welcome. I think...

    Pad

    The pillow is a great idea. I use a stuff sack that came with a Patagonia jacket a few years ago. it's super lightweight, has a draw cord, and isn't too bad against the skin. I stuff some puffy in it and then wrap a fleece around it and I have a fleece pillow for sweet dreaming of big rams...

    I have a Mtn hardware mitten that I throw on when the temps drop and I don't need the dexterity. They have a nice gauntlet, leather palm, and are very warm.
