Pat B:
John, You needed a 20 mule team to pack all that gear.  ;D

iowabow:
This does not include food which is too complected to list but make sure you pack your meals with many types of PROTIEN it is key to energy on a mountain at 11-12000 feet. Also make sure you work out and break in your boots before you go. before the trip I walked a good 100 mile to break in my boots! I walked many many miles during the hunt and never had a blister or sore feet other than the issue I have always had with my nerve in my left foot. I just sucked it up and pressed on! Surgery on Thursday will end that issue for the future. They are just going to cut it out!  It will make turkey hunting in the spring more fun!

Believe it or not the three of us only had two pack horses.

My gear wt just at 50# if you subtracted the shared equipment that I brought for the group. That is larger tent arrow case base camp filter system and containers. If I packed it I could be easily reduced to #40-45

Everything was the lightest wt product that I could find. 

Ed Brooks:
That list make my back hurt,, LOL, Good Luck on your trip! Ed
