The Gear List Thread

[NealMustard]

This list is in desperate need of an update, and expanded description. It's served me well over 2 sheep hunts and 2 goat hunts.

For upcoming spring bear. This was my list last year. I’ll have to see if I’ll change much for this year.

Bringing this old thread back to life.

This list is very much a work in progress. Haven’t backpacked in a few years and never done it seriously. Headed out this weekend for a quick scouting trip to see what stuff I can cut. At first glance I know the sleep system is heavy, and I still need to weigh much of my hunting gear. Will be hunting early Sept. here in NM, temps from 45-90 with possible daily rain storms.

Oh and the fly rod is only for the scouting trip.

Roast my list!

Two things come to mind:

I ditched my water bladder after my second or third backpacking trip, and I never went back. I use smart water bottles instead.

Switching to lighter boots was the biggest improvement I ever made. I backpack in Altra boots. They might not work for the absolute steepest terrain, but they have served me well across the west on backpacking trips and on my first elk hunt.
