Hey fellas,
So i'm hoping this year will be the year i actually get to commit to doing at least a couple of 2-3 day back country elk hunts, with a few overnighters thrown in there as well, this September. There's a possibility i may be doing up to 5 days in Montana for a buddies draw tag, but most my time will be spent here in North Idaho. Usually we just hunt from a truck camp so i have nothing for back country just heavy tents/bags/mattresses and truck camper tents, which i still plan to use, but i want to expand my options by going a little further and spending some nights on the mountain. That being said, it wont be my primary method of hunting, so i don't want to spend an arm and a leg on gear.
So i'm turning to you guys for advise on what kind of sleep system i can put together for relatively cheap. I'm not stuck on any one thing in particular, i'm open to just about anything that makes sense for me. Obviously the ability to stay protected from elements is crucial and weight is a factor cause i don't want to be packing around 15+ extra pounds all season, but i realize lightweight gear also comes at a cost. That being said, what would you recommend if you had to keep the budget as tight as possible, but still effective?
Any input is appreciated! Thanks guys
