Huge gear issue for backpacking bear hunt

[AvidIndoorsman]

2 in the box for the hike in, 6er in the bag and then 2 more at the truck for when you get back.

Cant beat this while glassing!

Despite my signature, I do appreciate a good local lager, pale ale, blonde ale, etc.

But the IPA's are above my pay grade. What do you guys use for a chaser?

 

[BackofBeyond]

No, and I’m taking a full can of Copenhagen too.

That should just be a given in any circumstance.

Dogs count?

Yes.

Both of these IPAs are along the lines of a pale ale with a little bite. No chaser needed

Drink the right side 6'er at the trailhead, walk it off. Save the left side for the pack in

Man altitude plus IPA would be an instant pounding, migraine type headache. I will usually get a very dull headache from altitude ( live at 700 feet above sea level) but mix in the Hops and I am a dead man!

I agree with Wllm1313. leave a few in the truck.

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

Yes of course. But I’m not posting on Rokslide so no one will crucify me for unnecessary weight

The weather seems much more conducive to a nice cold beer.

The weight weenies likely dehydrate their Michelob Ultra into 1 gram packets....necessary beverages know no weight limits.

I would leave it in the truck. My son and I packed out a bear last weekend. 2 packs, 95 and 75 lbs. No gear. If I drank beer my head would explode.

Yeah, but he’s a chukar hunter. #chukarshape

"58 percent alcohol by volume per 50-milliliter packet. And looks like motor oil."

This is why I got a wagon for my mtn bike

A couple of growlers?

@JLS not trying to hijack but facing similar issue.... flying into camp in a beaver for a week...
1. Will there be IPAs available in Ketchikan
2. Is it frowned upon to buy them out
3. How much beer fits in a float plane

This is an outstanding question. I like to travel with my local beers but I don't want to be rude to the locals. Not trying to hijack the hijack, but what is the appropriate craft beer ethic on any travel?

Fair question... I think the “when in Rome” ethic applies?

I make myself tag out before indulging. Otherwise, give them away - bad luck

1) Pretty sure you can find something there. At the very minimum Alaska beers.
2) Snooze you lose. Money talks. Buy as much as you need.
3) As I recall Beavers have a pretty hefty payload, right? I guess it depend on how much gear you’re willing to sacrifice
