Re: What's in your pack? Critique Mine!
Not sure what phone and GPS you're using.
My phone I can cache maps with we'll known hunting apps. Then make sure my GPS is on before I leave service. Then if I'm on a longer trip, turn on airplane mode and power saving mode.
I also try and have all my electronics use the same batteries.
Re: What's in your pack? Critique Mine!
-That is a lot of batteries. Find a headlamp that runs off of the same battery as your range finder. Or stock with fresh batteries and take one back up. How many hours a day are you planning on needing your headlamp on? In most cases you will use it less than you think you will.
-Red cord and blue rope? 50' of 550 paracord and call it good.
-Change out the knife and steel for a replaceable blade and a few spare blades. (Although I keep a custom blade in a neck sheath on me all the time, plus a havalon)
-"mid level/light level/heavy level bottom base" Pick one.
-1.6lb liner for your sleeping bag LINER? Change out your bag for a 6oz liner and slightly heavier bag, or a pad with a higher insulation value. Cut at least a pound right there.
-wtf is a "zoleo"?
-you are already carrying your phone, ditch the gps. Any modern phone is using a gps chip that was in higher end gps's a few years ago, and you aren't doing property surveying.
-gopro stick? You aren't going to use that. And in all likelihood, you won't actually use the gopro either (and believe me, I have carried one for years, and never bothered to dig it out). If you DO use it, you are already carrying a hiking pole and electrical tape. Or tape it to your head.
One thing you don't have, is a water filter... Lots of guys rely on tabs, but it can be awfully difficult to fill a bottle in a lot of water sources. And personally, I struggle with hydrating if I have to strain floaties out of my water bottle through my "clean" boxers on day 4... Just sayin'.
Pretty sure your spreadsheet numbers are a little off though, a needle and thread shouldn't be 0.5 lbs, OR 7 ounces.
You seem pretty heavy if the numbers are correct though, once you factor in a water containment system and food.
Take care of the ounces, and the pounds will take care of themselves...

Subbing to this as this year I will be backpacking for bear, then hopefully elk in the fall!

Great suggestions -- exactly what I'm looking for -- cheers mate!
Re: What's in your pack? Critique Mine!
Perhaps an error - Compass 71 grams 32 oz 2.5 lbs (seems heavy to me, also 32 oz = 2 lbs, 71g = 2.5oz)
71 g = 2.5 oz = .156 lbs
Suunto MC-2 Compass 74 grams 2.6 oz 0.16 lbs
Phone with case 215 g s/b 7.58 oz = .47 lbs (original 7.6 lbs = about sako rifle 7.8 lbs)
So just saved 10.1 to .626 = 9.5 lbs or 9.5 / 50.3 = 19%

Personally, I go with Peak refuel breakfast and dinner. Mid day consists of things like moon cheese, jerky, good fat bars, snickers, miso soup, justins almond butter packs, and my personal favourite, honey stinger waffle cookies. All of these things are very high in cal/oz and consist of high levels of fat(most of them) to help me keep going after multiple days.
Temperature/activity level dependent, I like to prep for 3000cal/day.
Re: What's in your pack? Critique Mine!
Your list is very similar to mine.. I carry 1 extra headlamp, a spork not spoon...zip ties are a great idea..oh and I have a pack-alarm..

No rubber gloves in the kill kit?
