I'm planning my 1st serious elk hunt in 2014. It will be mid Oct. in central WY. I'm starting to equip myself now. We will have a base camp & then live out of our packs day to day if neccesary. I have a good 0 degree mummy bag & I acquired some Ty-vek to make bivy sacks. But I need several other items. Can u folks recommend a good packable sleeping pad? Also should I buy the traditional pump style water filter or the bottle top kind? I'm thinking that the bottle top kind might not be able to suck up good enough out of a seep? Last item that I need help on is a small portable burner for cooking. The one other time that I camped high altitude..my classic white gas stove didnt burn hot enough. what can u guys recommend ? Also, where can I buy big 5 gallon water jugs? Thanks.
