Backcountry Camping Tips-Help

[sneakboxer]

I just drove from TN to OR on I-80. I'd listen to Upsman and take tire chains. There was still snow drifts along the interstate in June. I can only guess they are a must on back county roads up high. As for the elevation personal fitness is worth the effort. The first time I hunted above 9000 I thought my lungs were going to explode. (I quit smoking shortly after it was that bad) the west is something else have fun, stay safe and take pictures.

I will have my wife with me.(She is dreading it) lol

Good luck with that........ :grin:
Don't use air mattresses and purchase a heavy two person sleeping bag. Better yet go the hotel route if possible.

Did the hotel thing last year... I dont like waking up and driving 40 miles to hunt every day when I am on a hunting vacation. I told her to put on her big girl pants.

And still managed to live.
