I've got the gun to shoot 5/8 @ 100yds so that is a great improvment from 4". I also picked up a digtal scale to start adding up the weight.
Thanks again

Is anyone else in your party bringing a stove? I'd ditch the Jetboil, frying pan, and cup... You can use your Ti bowl to cook/boil in.
I can manage to get by for a week with:
MSR pocket rocket
Ti bowl
spork
2 fule canisters
Is the area you're hunting 'dry'? 7-10 miles across the tundra will s-u-c-k.

I'm told that tundra will not be a issue. I'll be the only one with a stove they will have the fuel and water filter. The fry pan is for those fresh caribou loin chops.

I've got the pack loaded, it comes in at 55lbs. I was hoping to keep it under 50 but for 10 days it is not that bad I hope.

Depending on the time of year you might want to bring 15 lbs of deet.

I don't know who told you that but if you've never hunted on open tundra on foot before, your in for a treat.
Bring a head net too, when you get a caribou down and those noseeums and white socks start biting, you will be glad you have one. I've done the 5 mile death march for caribou off the Haul Rd before in hip boots, I can't imagine doing it in just regular hunting boots with all that wet tundra.
Where are you planning on hunting?

So what area are you hunting? I've hunted several of the general caribou hunt areas by atv or walking and they all required walking across some tundra.
Are you hiking into the DCUA? If so, I know that area very well and know where there is an established moose camp or a F&W cabin where you can make your base camp.

This being my first post and not wanting to piss anyone off - but having been there done that - with this group of hunters I would add "prayer". Before such a trip you should do a little more research and not just rely on this or any other board to plan your trip. That many days in the wilderness with weather that is not always predictable can make your trip extremely uncomfortable to say the least. My only two questions are is what kind of survival training and equipment do you have and how good of shape are the member of your party are in? That alone can make all the difference in a great hunt and one we hear about on 7 o'clock news. My humble opinion. No disrespect intended.

I don't take that offensively. We have hunted in the wilderness many times as a group. If I do happen to make the 7 o'clock news, I will have gone out doing what I love.
