[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 636128, member: 2805"] Gonna go out on a limb and suggest an oversized fanny pack with backpack straps instead of a traditional backpack. Reason I prefer a big fanny pack is because I seem to sweat too much with a backpack when hiking in, then I freeze after sweating. Of course I hunt much earlier at the end of August, but it's still usually in the high 20's to low 30's when I start the hike up the mountain. Both Basspro and Cabelas sell nice oversized fanny packs. Biggest purchase for your happiness will be hunting boots. Try a BUNCH on, and buy them a few months before the trip so you've got time to break them in... otherwise you'll be crippled after the first day. Nothing is as important as a good pair of waterproof boots with vibram outsoles for hunting in the mountains. Oh, be sure to carry a second pair... there'll likely be snow and you'll want to trade boots out every other day. [/QUOTE]
