Gear List for 2 Nights in Backcountry


Jennifer and I went for a quick Wilderness backpacking trip this weekend. I carried my new Outdoorsmans Pack System packed with these items and still had plenty of room to spare. I was pleased with the way the pack rode and the initial comfort. I've only had this pack out on a few day hikes, but it felt broken in and did not create any hot spots. I'm eager to strap an elk quarter to it and test its meat hauling ability.

We camped around tree line and the temps were in the 60's with night time lows in the 30's.



1. 100oz. Camelbak bladder
2. Patagonia R1 Flash Pullover
3. Icebreaker T-shirt, Smartwool socks, and Cloudveil lightweight softshell pants. On body.
4. Icebreaker 260 weight bottoms
5. 1 pr. extra Smartwool socks
6. Mountain Hardwear 20 deg. down sleeping bag stuffed into waterproof OR Hydroseal stuff sack. Long johns and extra socks also are stuffed into sack to save space and keep items dry.
7. Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2 person tent
8. Exped Synmat 7 sleeping pad
9. Montbell Eldo jacket and Map
10. Elk calls
11. Arcteryx Alpha LT shell jacket
12. Mountain Hardwear rain pants
13. Cabela's leather shooting gloves and Sitka Stratus hat
14. First Aid and Survival Kit
15. Garmin Vista cx GPS, Sunscreen, and Petzl Tactikka headlamp with green lens
16. Slik tripod with Bogen head
17. Thermarest Trail Seat butt pad
18. Leupold Kenai spotting scope
19. Cabela's digiscoping adapter
20. Zeiss 10x40 binos
21. MSR Dragonfly stove, fuel, pot, and spoon. (We ate from the pot)
22. Outdoorsman's Pack system with Black Diamond carbon fiber Flicklock poles

My lovely wife carried the tent poles, water filter, and all the food.

All the items minus pants, shirt, and socks added up to 44 lbs.

I wore my Lowa Tibet GTX boots and a sun hat as well.

To go hunting I would just add gun, bullets, knife, game bags
