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

4. Icebreaker 260 weight bottoms
5. 1 pr. extra Smartwool socks

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