I'm going out for my first backcountry hunt (and first elk hunt) in the last week of November for cow elk in the Bighorns. I'll be with one other person and we'll be using my Seek Outside Tipi and stove at camp. I have a few questions regarding sleep system and clothing that I'd like help sussing.
My sleep system, as it stands now, is a Wiggy's Super Light sleeping bag, a Big Agnes Rapide SL pad and an Argali Elite Dream Backpacking Pillow. Should I bring anything more for R value? I plan on sleeping in my puffy jacket (FF Eos) and anything I have that's wet, including my boots if necessary.
Outside of camp I'm wondering whether I should just pull the trigger on puffy pants or not? As my hunting journey continues I suspect I'll want to get them eventually, but not sure how much time I'll spend sitting and glassing for a herd of cow elk vs just hiking.
Any help/guidance is appreciated.
