    Quite a bit is being left at the truck, the bigger tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad, hatchet, 2 water filters, extra boots, extra food, flashlights, etc. Hiking in a bit, 8 miles, but it may be much closer, depending on how the scouting goes.

    We have 4 coolers, I hope that’s enough, lol, they take up almost the entire truck bed!

    Gonna pick a map up when I get there, hopefully. And don’t have a compass yet, that is something I need to get. Any recommendation on what’s a good compass? I haven’t used one since landnav, but that’s been 12 years ago.

    Well, a week from today me and my hunting buddy will be headed west, I just got through going through and packing everything and making sure I wasn’t forgetting anything, lol. We have extra gear that will stay at the truck, to resupply on food and if anything fails on us. Tomorrow, I plan on...

    When is everyone going after elk? (Or have you started already)

    This will be my first time hunting elk, so I’m going to enjoy myself, whether I get an elk or not, gonna take in the mountains and try to soak up every minute of it. Will be gone 15 days, and hope to enjoy every second of it!

    Leaving out in 10 days to Colorado for 1st Rifle Season, going in pretty early, and doing some sight seeing and hiking on the way.

    Gear list for 1st season backpack elk hunt

    I may swap out the greyl with my sawyer filter, I have thought about it quite a bit as the greyl is pretty heavy. The tent and sleeping bag are heavy, but I can’t swing quality options yet, and don’t want to buy gear that I’ll be wanting to upgrade again in another year or so, I’ve already made...

    Gear list for 1st season backpack elk hunt

    Don’t plan on scouting the same location the whole time, the wilderness area we will be hunting is huge, but the side we’re going in doesn’t have but 1 access point that I’m aware of, so we will be hiking to the highest point we can find and glassing, but not trying to get close to any elk. If...

    Food list for backpack hunt.

    Thanks, I was starting to think I was the only person that ate anything when hunting, lol! I know I like the food I packed, I’ve been trying different backpack food and drinks for several months getting ready for this trip to see what I liked, and then seeing the replies, thought I had way too...

    Gear list for 1st season backpack elk hunt

    Oh, and maybe a super lightweight fishing kit to fish some of the streams and lakes before season opens, as the 5 days before season will be scouting, but mainly just glassing and acclimating to the elevation.

    Gear list for 1st season backpack elk hunt

    Okay, so I’m hoping I have the final list of gear for my elk hunt this fall, some gear I stuck with. Some I have swapped out. In the future, there several items I want to upgrade(tent, sleeping bag, etc.), but for this year at least, this is what’s making the trip...

    Yes, lol, that’s per day.

    Food list for backpack hunt.

    I’ve been trying several of the peak meals, usually on the border of too much to eat, but by the end of my last hike, I wolfed down a Peak Chili Mac and was searching for something else to eat! Think I would have tore open the biscuit and gravy and ate it, but was about out of water, lol...

    Food list for backpack hunt.

    Did you have any problems from that low of calories after several days? Or did you still have plenty of energy on less than 1500 calories a day?

    Food list for backpack hunt.

    I’ve been doing some hikes around home, not the same as 11,000 feet elevation I’m sure, but some steep and nasty country. My first trip out with a 60 lb pack showed some weak areas, so I’ve upgraded some items (boots were the first, lol), so I’m trying to cut weight from food, but I’m not a...
