[QUOTE="High Country, post: 538296, member: 26041"] Lots of good info on here, and perhaps I missed this, but.. Merino wool over the poly pro stuff.. Switched a few years back and wish all my clothes were made of that stuff... : ) I live in AK and chase sheep.. I'm not an expert backpacker, but have learned to keep things light and useful. Take your stuff and put it in a Excel Spreadsheet. Get a scale, weigh everything. Make a column for ozs and add it up. You'll start finding stuff you don't need in a hurry.. : ) [B]Here is my current line up of clothes[/B] KUIU Attack Pants Smartwool Mid Weight 3/4 Top and Bottoms IBEX Merino Wool T-Shirt (2) REI Thinsulate Vest Montbell Parka (vest and parka are an either or) Patagonia Spraymaster Special Rain Pants KUIU Chugach Jacket Patagonia Micropuff MARs Pants (only take when its cold) Smartwool Mountaineering Socks (# of pairs depends on how long I am out) Cabela's Alaskan Meindls (I might want a 800gr insulate boot for October hunts though???) This boot is my dream boot for hunting in AK (May / Aug / Sept). KUIU Merino Wool Beanie and Neck Gaiter Cabelas Fleece Watch Cap (thick for colder hunts) OR Crocodile Gaiters +1 on the Paper Towells. Cutting a roll in 1/2 is a great idea.

Light Weight Knives Havalon Pirana Buck PackLite Skinner I need to look into the Kifaru Tipi Stove combo and get after some high country mulies one of these Octobers....
