    Bear hunt next week

    It doesn't seem like a year has past since I was in Alaska chasing bears.

    Me and a buddy are heading to Cordova, AK next Friday to meet up with our pal there. He is going after a brown bear with his Super Shrew and we will be looking for Blackies.
    I am in last minute panic mode between target practice and packing.I am trying to cut weight on my big pack anyway I can. Last year I way overpacked.

    Down to 3 shirts, a vest and 2 pair of pants for 8 days camping in the woods.
    (I'm gonna have to play the wind)
    No tent, just bivouac sack and rain fly. mummy bag. Two pair of rain gear ( I can't keep that stuff dry there). Taking only 6 arrows (those have got to get it done)
    The Blacktail (usually take 2 bows)
    So far I have drilled holes in my toothbrush, squeezed my toothpaste into a ziplock baggie and taken some parts off the frame pack. I have all freeze dried food, one little stove. Coffee pot.
    Lots of waterproof fire starters. Water filter.
    Leaving thermarest pad

    Getting very excited.

    Matt, you're HARDCORE, man!

    Don't forget the camera ... I wanna see some pictures when you get back.
    Forget about the practice ... I saw you shoot, you don't need it!

    Good luck!
