Re: sheep pack weight ?????
Heavy packs 50lb + will cause serious strain to the average persons body throw in rough terain bad weather and your an accident waiting to happen. Some of you guys are serious mountain hunters and have a system that works for you. But the majority of the people reading this thread for advice are going to be new to multi day expeditions.
Most of us on here are "training" with these pack weights and 65lbs isn't unreasonable for a grown man to carry, especially if you've prepared yourself for it.
We also don't run around with 65lbs on our backs everywhere we go. Sometimes we'll haul to a base camp, and day hike out with empty packs.
Sometimes you have to pick up and move camp to another place, that's fine too.
I am not specificly attacking your packing it was just and easy accesible list to use to make my point.
I think you should spend the time to make a detailed list of every item you would be taking on your 7 day hunt, weigh them individually and then post the info here. You'll likely help a few people out.
