That’s a sweet loadout, good gear choices, and I really enjoyed your presentation. However, as a Wilderness First Responder myself, the only thing I would advise you to add would be a trauma kit consisting of a cravat, 6” Ace-type elastic bandage, and 1 or 2 packages of vacuum sealed compressed gauze. With everything together, the whole kit weighs about 6 oz and costs less than $20. I package all items together in a vacuum-seal bag. With just those 3 items you have: A. Always clean and dry bandages B. Elastic wrap for sprains C. Immobilization for a broken limb D. Pressure dressing (elastic bandage + gauze) E. Tourniquet and more. If you want to get fancy, you can add a Quick Clot type dressing and a SAM splint, but those are not as essential as the first 3 IMO. Remember that you’re working with firearms, knives, and sharp objects (rocks, broken tree limbs, etc) with a constant threat of mechanical injury. Be safe, have fun, and fill those tags!
Thanks for the video, is good to see what other guys are using. My kit is similar, I like to take a foam sitting pad for glassing and also gets used at camp. You have the baby wipes but don't forget the tp. 👍👍
Idaho is my happy place... I'm Born/raised in Oregon (another great place) but lately I've been spending all my free time on my property outside Cataldo up in N.Idaho.
It was right around the 60 lb mark. We also have a video on how to properly pack a backpack which may help you out. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/Ht6-4fY_DkM/видео.html
That is a goHUNT Gunslicker rifle protective cover. You can see more details here: shop.gohunt.com/collections/gear/products/gohunt-gunslicker-rifle-protective-cover It works very well to keep everything out of your rifle barrel and also to protect your scope and action from getting water all over them.
Ive watched this vid 3 times in the last month! Planning on hunting F.C. this year, 2020, for deer in Nov. Should be rad. Great vid! Doing kinda the same thing. Spike out a little. 2 guys, should be awesome!
If you are going to put your bag, pad, and bivy in a sack it's going to have to be good sized, probably 25L. You might want to check out the Big Agnes Tech dry Bag, 32L which you can roll tight from the top..or the MR roll top 25L hauler.
Useful gear list. There's probably a couple grand in gear there. But it will probably last a few years. Also if you do the math and let's say the meat is worth $4 a pound you only need to get one animal season to pay it off in 2 years lol This is my first year hunting and I'm trying to go frugal. I guess we'll see if it works out. It's not there's always next year to spend money!
I was wearing the Kuiu guide pants. They are very versatile and can be worn in a lot of different temps. I also packed my REI long underwear for the cooler mornings. But for the most part when I’m hiking around I like to just wear a softshell like the guide pants.
We don’t have one yet for Lorenzo this year. But we have last years which is pretty similar. Here is the link: www.gohunt.com/read/skills/lorenzos-mid-september-backcountry-elk-hunting-gear-list#gs.wSc39dQ
Your no. 1 piece of equipment is your Garmin phone? I thought I was on a hunting channel.... Are you really going to tell your kid that when you take him on his first hunt? “Self-Reliance” by Emerson. I suggest you go read it.
I am more of a topo map and compass guy. Then again my old Marine scoutmaster wouldnt even let us bring tents on winter campouts, just tarp and rope and we had to build the shelters ourselves.

I agree. A couple band aids is a little weak in the first aid department. That being said, electrical tape likely saved my life 2 years ago.
WFR... NO mention of an Israeli Bandage? The number on way to deal with bleeding. What outfit did you study with? I did mine at SOLO.
Thanks for the video, is good to see what other guys are using.

Being from Idaho currently, this was very well done! Great video, very well done. informative and useful!
Idaho is my happy place... I'm Born/raised in Oregon (another great place) but lately I've been spending all my free time on my property outside Cataldo up in N.Idaho.
That is awesome!
Thank God the grey winters are finally keeping the California transplants away. Hopefully CDA wont be completely overrun.
I would like to see the pack loaded. I feel like my pack is big and bulky. But it doesn't feel heavy. What did yours weigh?
It was right around the 60 lb mark. We also have a video on how to properly pack a backpack which may help you out. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/Ht6-4fY_DkM/видео.html
Great video. What is the wrap / sack product you had on the rifle?
That is a goHUNT Gunslicker rifle protective cover. You can see more details here: shop.gohunt.com/collections/gear/products/gohunt-gunslicker-rifle-protective-cover

goHUNT thanks!!!

Heck yeah, glad we could help!
what size dry bag do you put the bivy/pad/sleepingbag combo in?
I always put the batteries in an old prescription bottle. Not sure if anyone else does, having a ziplock or repurpose on hand isn’t a bad idea either.
Sweet tip! Thanks for watching!
what is the size (liters) of the the sea to summit dry bags?
Love Idaho great place to hunt
Great video
Hey Lorenzo u think u will ever draw that “EB3015” Utah bull tag?
Man oh man, i love that rifle, i have the 6.5 creedmore.
Great rifle!
I just bought the 6.5 Creedmoor too. Should be available for pickup July 14th
Which model rifle is it the speed or long range
How was the Mammut shirt was it warm?
What size dry bag do you use for your sleep system, having the bivy, pad, and sleeping bag altogether?
If you are going to put your bag, pad, and bivy in a sack it's going to have to be good sized, probably 25L. You might want to check out the Big Agnes Tech dry Bag, 32L which you can roll tight from the top..or the MR roll top 25L hauler.
Awesome thank you for the info

What kind of pants are you running? Do you wear softshell in the late season?
I was wearing the Kuiu guide pants. They are very versatile and can be worn in a lot of different temps. I also packed my REI long underwear for the cooler mornings. But for the most part when I’m hiking around I like to just wear a softshell like the guide pants.
Is there a text version of this list available somewhere?
We don’t have one yet for Lorenzo this year. But we have last years which is pretty similar. Here is the link: www.gohunt.com/read/skills/lorenzos-mid-september-backcountry-elk-hunting-gear-list#gs.wSc39dQ
Mini list 😜🥳
What kind of foot wear do you run on a hunt like this?
I was wearing the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400 gram insulate boots
put a like and sub for that battle born shirt! unfortunately i dont seem them on your website anymore, is there any chance you'll stock them again?
Good Luck!
What size dry bags are those?
13 Liter
What does your loaded pack weigh normally?
It is usually right around the 60 lb mark.
7mm rifle with 30 Nosler ammunition? Let me know how that works out for you...
I use 1.5 mm dyneema rope 750lb eBay $10 so much better . Nothing compares to it
FOOTWEAR?
7mm mag?
Yes it is a 7mm. Great gun!
I wish i had that much money lol.
cant forget my juice juice in the backcountry lol
Everyone else in the world uses their equipment/gears, in gun world people runs their systems... the words salesman use for charging extra 15%.
Your no. 1 piece of equipment is your Garmin phone? I thought I was on a hunting channel....
Are you really going to tell your kid that when you take him on his first hunt? “Self-Reliance” by Emerson. I suggest you go read it.

8.5-25 on a hunting rifle.......Seriously?
