Kind of a morning tent pitcher myself.
We ran 3 small tipi last year and we got wet. We didn’t have stoves to dry out, that being said the weather was horrible rain blowing under the sides of the tents above tree line. I’m also looking for a bigger tent might go 4 season or a tipi with a stove. We want to sleep in the same tent so if we get weather we can at least play cards and drink coffee
So I won a tag for 6-25 d today.
I've never hunted sheep and never been that far north.
If anyone has any information of any kind that they can private message me, I will absorb it like a sponge and greatly appreciate it.
Well I just weighed everything individually in my pack. I definitely have some work to do haha....
52.95 lbs before food/water. Including rifle and 2.25lbs of salt.
Heavy items seem to be:
Shelter 6lbs
Sleeping bag 3.4lbs
Rifle 7.9lbs
Tripod 4.4lbs
As for all the other gear it's more or less the same as what I have seen on this thread.
What is a good goal weight pre food/water? Assuming food 1.25lbs/day and water 2.2lbs/L? If that's correct. I'm by no means looking to spend thousands and become an ultra light guy but shit I need to do something here haha.
Nope. Do nothing. Just walk slower. Don't let even the thought about the weight wreck your mental state. This will plague you on a long sheep hunt. You need to know that it is what it is. If you want to lose weight, stop eating so much two months before you go. Heck, I pack 10 full ambrosia apples just to spite my heavy pack. Sounds silly, but it goes really far in my mental battle along the way. Nothing like laughing AT the weight when your mind plays tricks on your preparedness.
