I said I’d do this in my “Tok Sheep Success” thread, but forgot all about it until someone reminded me the other day. Feel free to ask any questions about the gear. I didn’t really have any gear “failures” and would recommend everything on this list. I think the weight of everything I wasn’t wearing (Rifle, pack, trekking poles) was 63 lbs.
Pack:
- Stone Glacier R3 with lid and hip pockets and an Access Pack strapped on. I used a Kifaru gun bearer and had the SG dry bag that fit the frame. I also had an assortment of SG ditty bags inside.
- Mystery Ranch hooded pack rain cover
Worn:
- REI synthetic T
- Sitka lightweight core hoody (this thing was awesome).
- Sitka Timberline pants with knee pads but no suspenders.
- Darn Tough hiking socks
- Zamberlan Baltoro 1000 GTX RR boots
- Random Issued multicam boonie hat
- OR Crocidiles gaiters
- Under Armour underwear
Packed wearables:
- Kifaru Lost Parka
- Kuiu Kenai puffy 3/4 pants
- Kuiu Peloton light 3/4 long underwear
- Columbia Titanium rain jacket and rain pants
- Borah Gear eVent waterproof glove covers
- extra pair each of socks and underwear
- Sitka Jetstream beanie
- Sitka Traverse gloves
- Sitka Coldfront gloves
- New Balance trail minimalist shoes (crossing streams and other non-boot use, would’ve preferred Crocs I think)
Optic stuff:
- Alaska Guide Creations Cub max chest carrier
- Swaro EL 10x42 Binos (AGC carrier)
- Leica 1600b rangefinder (in AGC carrier)
- Sirui T-025x tripod
- Kowa TSN-553 Spotting Scope
Camp Stuff:
- MSR Hubba tent w/footprint and MSR Groundhog stakes
- Western Mountaineering Ultralite sleeping bag
- Exped Synmat UL 7 inflatable mattress
- Borah Gear Snowyside bivy sack
- Thermarest Z-lite foam pad (always with me)
- Kifaru Paratarp with annex and MSR Groundhog stakes (always with me)
Food Stuff:
- Jet Boil with two fuel bottles
- 14 days (I had 2 1/2 weeks off work) of high cal per ounce food (2000 cal per day I think)
- MSR Trailshot water filter
- a Nalgene and a couple collapsible bottles
- TI spork
- emergency water tablets (backup for filter)
Misc Stuff:
- Black Diamond Carbon Cork trekking poles
- InReach Explorer
- IPhone 6s (camera, maps, and inreach sync)
- Little smartphone camera tripod mount
- 20mh backup battery
- Garmin Fortrex 301 GPS
- Garmin Fenix 3 watch
- Small survival/first aid/gear repair kit
- Dry bags for food storage
- Lightweight kill kit (synthetic bags, rubber gloves, Havalon w/extra blades)
- Small Benchmade folding knife
- “550” cord
- Very Small Letherman
- random small stuff I can’t remember and probably wasn’t that important
And last but not least:
- Kimber Montana .308
- Leupold VX3 2.5-8 with calibrated CDS dial
- Talley Rings
- Handloaded Sierra HPBT 165gr
- 3M electrical tape on the muzzle
I’m sure I’ve forgotten some things, as it’s been a few months and I’ve had a couple egg nogs with bourbon. If I seem to have missed an important item, just ask.
