[QUOTE="ridgewalker, post: 2786827, member: 55998"] I did it a bit different. When I backpacked hunting and fishing a lot, I only used a bivi bag. Gortex top and waterproof bottom. I did this because I hunted with my pack on and loaded moving all day and never spending the night in the same spot. In the evenings I’d find a nice flat overlooking a meadow, trail, or water hole. My pack rarely weighed over 25 lbs (without elk parts in it…LOL!) I’ve waked up with 6” of snow covering me and roasty toasty. Also could stay out over 5 days at a time. Weight would go up a bit for extra food. A lot of 1-2 nighters I only carried cold foods, but tea bags and a metal Sierra cup in case a small fire was needed to warm up. A tent would have been more comfortable I guess, but I didn’t want to be tied to the same spot. Elk are either in an area or not and if not, you just have to keep relocating until you find them. JMO&E best of luck in you choice! [/QUOTE]
