Me and two buddies are going elk hunting Sept 1 -9th in southern Colorado. It looks like we will be between 8-10k foot backpack hunting each day and carrying camps on our back. I am looking at bettering my backpack list to see where I need to add or drop. Money is a factor so I don't want to change equipment if not a huge drop in weight. Any help is appreciated.
