if youre bringing MRE's or those mountain house/ alpine aire meals you only need one pot for boiling water. and some forks/knives.

how long are you going? how far? that determines a lot of what you need to bring.

cuz on top of all that other **** you wanna bring, you gotta bring clothes. dont forget the clothes. and invest in some REALLYYY GOOOD SOCKS and liners. get some insoles for your boots too.

and as far as first aid goes, it never hurts to be prepared

"its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"

and you had better bring a MINIMUM of a 9mm. 45 is best. keep an eye on the wildlife both 4 legged and two. bears are plentiful in the mtns and with you cooking all of that **** its just a matter of time before one comes and finds you.


HANG your PACKS in the TREES and dont leave anything in the tent but your gun and some necessities. no food.
we are going for 7-10 days, and plan to go about 100 miles or so

The reason I am taking a set of two pots and one frypan is because there are four of us going. Some of the freeze dried meals require two pots, some require a fry pan. It weighs a half pound total. I'm not worried about the pots and pans. I'm not going to forget clothes, and I have five pairs of good hiking socks. I have a 9mm, but I am planning on getting a Glock 20 (10mm), which is more powerful than a .45ACP. I work in the medical field, so I have the ultimate first aid kit with everything I will need. If any of us get injured worse than I have supplies for, the only thing that will save us would be a med-evac.
