Catch All Excitement Thread

[ammo]

A lot of us have individual “getting ready”/scouting/specific gear question threads but how about a catch all thread for packing insanity, grocery carts full of chicken in a biscuit/easy cheese, and some of those “oh shit” or “hell yeah” moments before imminent departure…

I’ll go:

First excitement -


My oh shit moment was last night when I couldn’t find my tag. Used it as my fishing license Sunday to fly fish with my uncle and it was not in the pack that I had used or in my pile of unpacking from the weekend. Thought I’d have to drive to CPW in Denver this morning for a replacement but ended up finding it in the trash. Whoops!

Just got 90% of my camp loaded up for departure tomorrow. I feel ya.

Been patiently waiting a few days already! Wish Sunday morning would hurry up and get here.

That's about how much crap I have just for my Iowa muzzleloader deer hunt that is only a mile from my house.

Flying out for the Yukon tomorrow. Everything is packed and ready to go. Going to hunt caribou and moose in the Yukon portion of the Cassiar Mountains.

I've been restless at the office all day... Pretty excited!!!

I want a photo of one of those bags right before you open it on day 4...

The gear pile is cool and all but the wall plate on the electrical outlet is awesome.

The poptarts will definitely be powder.

Hopeful in the food chemical industrial complex that the pb&js will merely be 'well marinated'.

Just moved into this house 3 weeks ago and the basement room still has some remains of kiddos.

That doesn't sound very good!

Just hold your horses lol but don't be like me and forgot a few items

I’ll play. Thanks for helping me realize that I’m down to the wire @ammo with the amount of work I still need to get done in addition to packing. I leave in 11 days for a 2 week extravaganza. 2 Wy elk tags and a Wy antelope. I started getting ready a couple days ago but have a long way to go!


Dehy and snacks

Cold storage and processing area

Sorting out what to pack

Rifle ready to roll


Make room for multiple coolers and things required for 2 week hunt. Roof rack done, front suspension and lower control arms replaced.






Cart upgraded

Crap strung across 2 tables, kids toys in the mix, doubles, even triples of stuff. We are still a month out but this pile needs to be narrowed down.

A few years ago we had a thread about guitars in camp and I got crap because I said I didn't want a guitar in camp. Truth be told, I don't want my hunting partner to bring a guitar because I wear that cowboy hat and play the keyboard in the background around the campfire.

How come you need so many bullets? You should only need one, two at the most!
