Hey Cliff! Great review! Appreciate the different types and uses. On the 2nd half of the vid with bags geared more towards a camp and/or horses I am also seeing some synthetic heavy duty material. Any experiences on those or mainly cotton type products?

[@CliffGray]

I mainly used the cotton bags for when we were packing via horses/mules.

Looking for recommendations on tent and stove to pack on sawbuck panniers

[@CliffGray]

Depends on what size wall tent you need - but you can pack the smaller walltents folded as a top pack on your sawbuck. Then you can pack a wood stove on one side, some other gear on the other side. I use to pack that way a lot - soft panniers, tent top pack - lashed down with a box hitch. On stoves - if we are talking wall tent setups, just get a good round stove. Davis tent has good ones. Hope that helps!

@@CliffGray if you pack in in winter how do you carry enough food for the horses/mules for an extended stay

[@CliffGray]

@@lonewolfindustries3702 typically two trips with pack string - one to bring in cubes/hay for feed, next trip for camp

[@lonewolfindustries3702]

@@CliffGray thank you sir how much are you feeding per horse and what’s average distance sorry for all the questions

[@CliffGray]

@@lonewolfindustries3702 I tried to feed 20-25lbs a day. Most horses and mules won't eat that much, particularly if you are feeding cubes. Make sure they have access to water often if feeding cubes. That will reduce your problems and they will eat more. My horses/mules would be used anywhere from 5mi to 12-15mi a day. Hope that helps.

With the additional cost of the lightweight bags, if the main target would be deer and bear, with maybe a transition to elk, would the elk size be OK to go with or would deer be better?

[@CliffGray]

Elk are fine. You can use them for the smaller species, not weight difference. Good luck! thanks
