Did I just read that someone brings 1/2 a roll of shit tickets for a 14 day hunt

Lol why even bring that much, use Mullen, moss, or grass instead....lol although I've never used just those 3 things for 14 days straight, that's a little itchy

Just off the top of my head but don't think I forgot anything. On my person I wear merino long undies top/bottom, t shirt, merino socks, stanfield sweater, sitka ascent pants a toque, binos, harness and phone. Costco trekking poles still going strong after 3 seasons despite having little cork left on the handles or rubber on the feet.
If I was alone I'd shave a small amount of weight going to less fuel, my leupold hd spotter and light weight tripod.

Edit:2L of water on this weigh in

Hmmm that's fairly standard, except I'm not seeing any game bags on there or a range finder.

Either way none of your gear is "ultralight" stuff and neither is mine so not sure where mine ads up. But I feel like for 10 days of food I'd be over that.

I got a pic of it laid all laid out from an early season hunt. Let me see if I can dig it up and take a look, just for comparisons sake.

2020 keeping this going here. Starting to work out and make lists and weigh gear for a possible sheep hunt this summer. It will be my first sheep hunt. Looking for opinions on rifle selection
Tikka t3x superlite 7mm-08 w/ Leupold 3.5-10 ×40 cds @ 111 ozs and 42 1/2 inches long
Or
Browning xbolt hcs 7mm mag w/ Swarovski z3 4-12×50 bt @ 128.5 ozs and 48 1/2 inches long.
Really leaning towards tikka for weight and length difference.
Also is Kuiu yukon rain gear too heavy I see a lot of lists with ultralight raingear. How do you crash brush in these?
Also is a puffy jacket necessary in August or can you get away with a stanfield under a rain jacket?
My puffy is older and heavy and I'd rather put the money into a spotting scope. I guess it's only 22.4 ozs but you know what they say.....
Looking like 40 ish pounds without food and water
And 60ish with for a 7 day hunt. Still a few pieces to acquire. And starting to experiment with my own dehydrated meals. Any opinions, tips or comments welcome. Total newbie. Will post up my list with weights as i get it a little more finalized.

Both your rifles will work fine, I would take whichever one you shoot better, after that which ever is lightest and most compact as you’ll be packing it a whole lot more than shooting it !

Aug 1st -14th northern Bc Stone sheep hunt,

weather- we had hot sunny days to 30 deg, pea soup fog, thunder& lightning, wind to 40 knots and monsoon rain showers,
Jackets- we took along Sitka Gortex rain jacket, Sitka synthetic puffy, and for everyday use a Sitka timberline jacket, I mostly just put the puffy on for sitting and glassing if I got cold and used it for a pillow at night, If I had to give one jacket up it would have been the timberline, I wouldn’t go without my puffy and rain jacket,

Pants- Columbia zip off pants, great pants for hiking early season but not to durable sitting on the shale, definitely not water resistant or waterproof, it would have been nice to have a lighter pant the was at least water repellent when walking in the wet (dew) morning grass

Merino wool, lightweight tops and bottoms, merino wool Sox, I wouldn’t go sheep hunting without it, I took 2 sets of long sleeve shirts and bottoms and 3 pairs of Sox

Hiking poles, I wouldn’t go without them.

Your pack weight sounds about right.
