First year backpacking in

[drake7]

Thank again guys for all your words. I definitely am trying to get the lightest gear possible for my budget, and yes I probably will be a little shocked at the steepness of the area. I plan on being in good shape for the hunt. I have already started getting in shape. The backpacking is something I have done in the past. Just not in the steep wilderness. Does anyone know of a good backpacking tent to use, maybe something you have used or still use. I am looking for one that will not have s lot of condensation build up in the mornings, and one that will hopefully not break the bank either.

Check out TarpTent. I just purchased a StrotoSpire 2 and am really impressed with it. Very light and reasonably priced. Good luck!
