First snow of the year. It's going to be really cold. Take lots of pictures and please share with us.

Not sure what's in your med kit, but I always carry a trauma pack when I'm hunting/shooting. CAT Tourniquets, pressure bandages, QuickClot, etc. Tylenol/Ibuprofen. Dehydration leads to headaches and the increase in elevation will have you sucking wind faster than the flat, row crop fields of Florence.

Is your plan to move camp every night?

It’s going to be in the 40s for the next week then the 30s. That is like 50 here as long as you keep the wind off of you.

Very few bears where you are going, a shit load of coyotes, a few wolves and maybe a mountain lion or two. Cabelas and Billings Army Navy will have anything you forgot

Best of luck sir. This sounds like a trip of a lifetime.

Babywipes. No shower and six days of hiking would be hell with a case of the swampass.

Fresh socks.

Outstanding!

No suggestions other than have a helluva trip and be safe.

Looking forward to your trip report and pics!

Taking care of the dogs is a must.

Gaiters and Gold bond powder. Plenty of Advil.

We are in Wyoming hunting antelope. Get to pull the trigger Friday hopefully. Supposed to start snowing Saturday night/Sunday. So may mess us up.

When you see John Dutton tell him I said "howdy".

An Ursack would be great for food storage and lighter than a bear vault. Take more food than you need. I burn through food when hiking just like someone else said. Load up on carbs at night to help keep warm and store energy for the next day. I’m jealous.

And a spork. Gotta have a spork. Also, it’s not the best but I use instant coffee when backpacking to cut weight by not taking my French press thermos.

Day 1: Not a huge success.

Turns out my flight was tonight, not last night.

Got a lot done at work today though.

Ha!

All that shit only weighed 30lbs on the airport scale. Thing had to be broke. Didn't count binos and gps.

**Rodney** · 10-04-2018, 07:43 PM

Day 2 (1): Got up at 1am. Drove to charlotte, flew to Dallas, flew to billings. Arrived 11am billings time. Drove to BLM land I wanted to scout. No access. Drive to Yellowstone on other side. Drive to end of Yellowstone gravel road, walk to BLM I wanted in.

Everyone says let your eyes do the walking. Ok my eyes are on top of my legs so I still had to walk. Scouted till 530p. 30 degrees and rain the whole time. Go to set camp. All camp sites are marked as no overnight?? BLM marked too?

I did lay eyes on one buck. Not enough to stick around. Going another 25 miles East and crashing a motel to make a game plan for a.m. I have some other spots marked but i'm worried about access and camp allowance now.

Final note on the way out of town from airport I ate at a magic hat? Gave me a "flying burger" that was on sandwich bread with the crust burned off. Like a crustables.

Need to see more animals tomorrow.
