Yes, excel is your friend. I do similar to the above. It's easy to print out and modify as needed.
However, I disagree on the toilet paper!! Having young kids has shown me that is not needed, but BABY WIPES are! After a few days sans shower a wipe with one of those is like taking a shower...

Wipes are great as long as they aren't at almost freezing temperature

Well just looking at the numbers makes my back hurt. Luckily it's just 12 miles to where I'm going to base camp, and I'm allowing 2 days to get there. That's with 14 days rations if I stretch it out. 60 pounds was my goal, and what I trained for.
Here's a generalized list. I weighed everything in the dry bags I use to organize everything, so some of the categories a pretty generic.

7 pounds of food for 14 days? You're gonna starve to death.

I'm making a weight loss video.
Seriously though, I'm right at 2,000 calories a day. That's pushing it, but I'm not 0% body fat.

I'm leaving my spotter and tripod at home on my backpack trip. Sure it would be nice, and I may end up regretting it, but I'm not going to be trophy hunting, just looking for a decent bull and if I can't see antlers with my 10X42 then they are too far away! Also my DSLR and big lens stays at home. My little cannon weighs in at about 8oz. That's 10lbs right there you could shed pretty easy!
My theory on spotting scopes is that they are for someone who isn't carrying a rifle.

I would say so.
What are you taking that bumps your calorie count up to 250 per oz.?
Peanuts are like 160 per oz, Mt. house usually run in the 150 range.Even Muscle Milk is like 125 or 150.
What's the secret?

I'm taking the spotter to determine a legal ram.
DSLR is necessary, portfolio building is a secondary reason for the trip.

Don't crash out there.
I like Npadens thought on the camera. I know that Photography is a big deal to you but don't let it drag down your hunt.I don't care if you're as fat as a Bear your not gonna be able to hunt hard on 800 to 1200 calories a day.
I'll climb down off my soapbox now. Good luck on your hunt.

Everyone has to hunt their own hunt. I'm not doing anything I haven't done many times before.

Nice,
For some reason I thought NR's had to have a resident family member or pay for a guide to hunt big game in AK. Had no idea a NR could just get a tag and solo hunt. I must be thinking of Canada.
Good luck on your hunt.

You're correct, I'm hunting in Montana.
My first gear list is for my Alaska trip. Hunting deer and black bear up there.
I do something similar to this, but use Google Docs. First sheet has gear listed w/the prices I paid, 2nd has gear w/weights, 3rd has food broken down by calories, 4th has state tag prices, PP, unit I'm hunting info, and any other info. Works great when you can just pull it all up at once.
