Primitive/Backcountry hunters will use a manual rolling game cart, a travois or will even field dress and pack the deer, to get deer out of the Birkhead area. It gets them away from the "drive up" hunters who crowd the regular spots and gets them a chance at the deer who avoid the habitated areas. There are fewer of these types of hunters, but those few who are willing to put in the much greater physical work have a selection of game that no one else has.
I've actually bumped into a few hunters since the make of this video, and they pretty much expressed what you just posted. I have plans to go back in late fall winter and search for some old relics I found using lidar. The goal will be not to disturb anyone's hunt. The thing is, that is the best time of year to explore off trail.
@@silverwolvesutility5219 a man can hike back into that wilderness area with only a backpack and a recurve or longbow, often handmade, and come very close to hunting in a way that man hunted several hundred to a thousand years ago. It's a far cry from the ATV/crossbow/rifle, baiting with corn, mindset that is mainstream, and yields a very primal reward for those who are into that.
So im pretty sure the 20° 40° etc on the sleeping bag is more of a survivability number not comfort. Also if your eating Mt House that pot is way too big and easy weight to cut out. I go to this very area every Nov for a week long trip. I have learned so much and cut so much weight out of my pack. If you want or need any suggestions feel free to ask. My email is also on my about page if you would like to talk that way.
I have up graded alot of my equipment since this video. That sleeping bag is good for anything between 35 and 40. Anything lower than that, you're pushing it. I went and got a down fill 0 degree. I appreciate the advice. Will check out your channel.
This place is magnificent! Watching this just makes me feel good! Great content my friend
Thanks ! Plan on going back with a lighter backpack to explore more in the future.
Liked the video hang in there
