For the sheep gear junkies... A gear recap from my AK Dall Hunt

[Mark at EXO]

I finally (6 months later) got around to sharing the full gear list from my backpack Dall hunt in AK from last fall.

You can get the full gear list (spreadsheet) and some takeaways here: https://exomtngear.com/sheep-gear

Or if you want to listen to me ramble for an hour, just hit play...

Thanks for posting, I’m dialing in my gear now for a hunt this August. I think I have everything pretty well set but ordered that glassing pad just now. I may go with some different trekking poles than I have and the tricer tripod but other than those I think I’m good.

I watched the video the other night and enjoyed listening and watching to what worked and what didnt. Thanks for putting this together to help others learn.

Mark - your format of the video was a really good idea, I enjoyed a lot of the "why" behind each choice and other options compared to your normal kit. Nicely done sir.

Thanks, Wyatt. I tried to not skip over details, and to make sure I answered questions I'd been getting. But I also wanted to add some structure so that people who didn't want to watch/listen for an hour didn't have to and could skip to what they wanted.

That's quite an extensive gear list! But I'm too old school to even know, let alone take half of the gear that you listed. I did take a lazer range finder on my MacKenzie Mountains Dall ram hunt, but I really didn't need it as my shot was only 206 yds.

But lists are good, and in the past few years I rely on them more and more, especially after one year that I forgot to take my sleeping bag on one Montana Unlimited Ram hunt that I did.

I bet that trip had some very cold nights on the mountain. We live and we learn!

Great video and congrats on the ram!

Not bad. It was early September, we had my wall tent with wood stove, and I just piled horse blankets and my rain slicker on top of me.
