I have been getting a lot of pms and requests for a gear list for the solo sheep hunt. So I’ve decided to start a new thread for it. I’m sure decker9 and Andrewh can chime in cuz those epic adventures for sheep where gear is of utmost importance.
I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible cuz it’s all about the details.
Hunting list.
Kimber mtn ascent
Swaro z3 scope with ballistic turret
Swaro flip up scope lens protector
Swaro scope guard
10 rounds reloaded 150 grain accubond with small ammo wallet
Swaro el range binos
Kuiu bino harnesss with Lens cloth
Swaro 60x scope with fabbed up braid connections to eyepiece scope cover so I don’t lose them
Slik 624 carbon fibre pro tripod
Manfrotto fluid head mvh500ah
Eye patch to help cover one eye so it doesn’t get tired:)
Kestral mountain caper knife
Havalon knife 5 blades
Kifaru pack (mine is discontinued now but about 100 litres with all the add ons)
Kifaru gun bearer
Kifaru game bags x2
Pillow case to stuff for pillow and doubles as extra game bag.
Cont...
Clothes.
Remember my hunt was late season so I had to prep for really wet conditions and/or wet/dry snowy cold conditions for 12 days.
La sportiva g2 sm mountaineer boot
IKEA njuta slippers :)
Kuiu merino wool socks two pair
Kuiu Yukon gators
Kuiu merino wool long john
Kuiu guide pant
Kuiu climbing belt
Kuiu super down pant
Kuiu under wear two pair
Arctreryx waterpoof shell pant
Kuiu Chugach waterproof shell pant
Ultralight wiggys waders for deep creek crossings (crossing deep creeks in crocs seem counter intuitive to me when you can use these and not take off all your foot gear and it doubles as waterproof stuff sacks)
Kuiu Merino wool long sleeve two pair
Kuiu super down jacket x2
(Second jacket for extreme cold,wrapping around water bottle and wrapping around feet in the sleeping bag)
Arcteryx waterpoof shell jacket
Kuiu chugach rain jacket
When you bush wack in the rain, rain gear gets soaked through. A second ultralight layer is great to stay dry.
Gloves
Kuiu guide glove (technical climbing)
Kuiu merino wool glove (base)
Kuiu Yukon pro glove (general glove)
Kuiu glassing mitt
Glassing mitt outdoor research gortex shell (so glassing mitt doesn’t get soaked)
Kuiu merino wool beanie x2 (for extra warmth under helmet)
Merino wool neck gator
Helmet
Protective eye wear for bush wacking
Merino wool sucks when it gets wet cuz it takes so long to dry but it’s ability to keep you warm or cool and no smell and light is worth it imo. Just don’t get it wet. And if your sweating profusely while climbing then change your pace or something cuz that’s not good.
