I did a spike camp overnight last year and next year will do a multi day hunt, I'm following this thread to learn with you.

But this may help, GoHunt online seems to be an amazing resource for questions like yours, so is EXOmountain packs and other manufacturers and hunter support websites. I'm new to go hunt, but it's been very helpful in a shot time.

The best advice that was given to me about this was get comfortable with the backpacking part first. Then add in the hunting. Camping season is much longer than hunting season. Go out a few nights a month in different weather conditions and learn what you like when you don’t have a hunt on the line.

 

Exactly. And know how to use/deploy every piece of your kit properly, and every piece of gear has a use, either daily, or in an emergency. This will also be the time to decide that the Starlink you packed just isnt worth the effort to ask AT "Would You Shoot This Buck"?

There's "Gear Dumps/lists" all over YT and the internet. Yours may vary.

Food
Water/water purifucation
Shelter
Fire
Comms &
SAR should be at the top of your list.

Plan the hunt, hunt the plan.

Here is 250 miles on the Jmt from 9k to 14, 505 over 22 days. 50,000 vertical feet of climbing. No bow or hunting. Set up base camp and day hike/ hunt is fun. Backpack hunting and moving everyday is work and can be deadly for a novice. 50 liter pack is plenty.7

 

Dont forget game bags and a roll up sled to move your kill.
