I'd cut out the some of the extra clothes. I wear a pair of Sitka pants and bring along a pair of puffy pants. Have a merino ls shirt I wear with a Sitka active jacket and a puffy. 2x merino/alpaca socks and 2x merino underwear (1 of each I'm wearing and swap out each evening). No lighters? Matches are good, lighters are better and having each is best. Dual headlamps with an extra set of batteries (unless you have rechargeable). Toothbrush w/baking soda (no need to rinse and has multi use). I also carry a map and compass. Something happens to your electronics and you'll be glad you carried the extra few ounces. I also carry a CAT from NA Rescue, ESPECIALLY if I'm going to be miles from the nearest trailhead. You run a knife or broadhead accidently into an major blood vessel and that may be the only reason you make it out alive. Good video! I always like to see what others carry to see if I'm missing something I didn't think of.

I loved the video! What's the weight of it all? Good luck on your hunt!

Thanks. I just weighed after putting my pistol in the holster and came in at 53 lbs. I have 12 lbs of that weight being food. By the time our camp is setup I’m thinking I’ll have around 35 lbs or less to carry while actually hunting
