It’s finally time. I’m heading into the Redacted Range next week in pursuit of a bull elk. I’m not backpacking, I’m bringing the wall tent and wood stove.

Weapons have already been decided. I’m packing the tang safety Ruger in .338 Win Mag. Backup will be my .30-06. Shooting 225 grain Barnes TTSX and 180 grain Nosler ballistic tips respectively. Backup to the backup is a S&W .44 mag with 240 grain hardcasts. There will be grizzlies around.

The hard part of my decision is the hydration plan. How much beer should I plan on bringing for a 6 day elk hunt in and around a wilderness area to stay hydrated? What type of beer should I bring? Should I supplement with Pendleton?

Feel free to share your opening weekend preparations and hydration strategies.

With my last name being Pendleton, I say bring at least one of those in. Has to be good luck!

The pendleton will certainly help you save weight vs the beer! Really can't go wrong with either. Good luck with the hunt!
