sheep pack weight ?????

Maybe this has been mentioned already, but for the last few years I’ve been repackaging all my meals with a vacuum sealer. It cuts down on some weight and really cuts down on the bulk. It also burns very easy compared to original packaging. I use a Fare Share mug for freeze dried meals.

Very good points, we make our own dehydrated meals and also vacuum seal, I used resealable bags this year and they worked well. With todays high calorie per ounce food you can cut substantial weight. 2 years ago I was 2 lbs per day, now I am just over 1 lb a day.
One can’t over emphasize leg, core, and cardio training, it does wonders for the weight your “mind” has to pack each day.

I haven’t tried making any dehydrated meals, but I do like adding to the ones I buy before I vacuum seal. I think I am closer to 1.5 lbs per day. There’s some things that I can’t seem to give up. I really like greenbelly meal bars as part of my lunch, but they are kind of heavy. This year I included some dark chocolate covered almonds and dark chocolate covered berries as a dessert after supper. Doesn’t take many and it’s a real treat.
I remember our early years of sheep hunting, before we improved our food choices, and it seemed like I was starving to death the whole time lol.

So what packs are you folks using, how much do they weight empty.

[igojuone]

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

Charmin is a 2 square deal

I forgot to pack a full roll once and only had the left overs from the last hunt. I had it down to 4 squares a crunch.

Kifaru duplex lite, Muskeg bag with organizer lid, it’s about 4 lbs.
