Don't underestimate OP. He's the kinda guy that'll pay $12k for a $300 fine. Even a terrible salesman ought to be able to pad his commission on the lift by an extra $12k
Because we have now established venue in the Sea of Fucktards, I invoke Admiralty Law. The matter must now be resolved however the Honorable RS Meme Gang sees fit.
Wanna bet?
Even adding to my list posted earlier, my underwear (Sheath V 8" inseam briefs), socks (just silk/nylon liners for June-Oct, midweight wool the rest of the year), L&S mountain hunter elite boots, Kuiu Yukon gaiters/pants/jacket, and my longsleeve T-shirt, I'll be under 35lbs...
For me, I'm almost always wearing my rain gear up here in AK. I just rock my Yukon rain pants over my underwear with a long sleeve fishing style T shirt under my Yukon jacket.
As for your tarp, depending on which tarp you're using you might have real potential for significant weight savings...
I'm not a big guy. Not even 5'8" unless I'm in the right boots. I can't afford to have my day pack be over 20lbs when I get an animal down. It always puzzles me when I am hunting with somebody and they have a day pack that weighs as much (sometimes more) than my all in kit for a week...
My typical day pack is sub 20lbs including rifle and optics:
My frame weighs 4lbs 5oz
30L silnylon drybag 2 oz (in certain areas this becomes a 20L heavy duty dry bag at 14oz)
.270 with scope and sling and full magazine is 8lbs 2oz, plus another 6 oz in additional rounds that I've never had to...
This. It's amazing to me how many 2A advocates, hunters, etc are so quick to ignore that last time Trump was in office he used an executive order to infringe on the 2A (first time that had happened) that only a handful of months ago finally got struck down by the Supreme Court.
To think that...
I wanted to take the young dummy up in the mountains for ptarmigan, but the government told me there's not enough snow yet to run my machine up and over the pass. So we went and hit a patch of grouse woods a few minutes from home to run some of the stupid out of her. And hey! It even worked!
Nonresidents can't DIY sheep, goats, or grizz in AK, but nonresidents human persons can represent themselves in every state and federal court in the country. The fact that you think this is a valid analogy is hilarious.
