The
following is a detailed list of the maximum you will need. This should
keep you under the 75 pound limit. Please try to pack as lightly and as
compact as possible. All items (**) should be of as good a quality as
you can possibly budget for. I would be happy to make product suggestions
if in doubt.
I
apologize for the amount of times you have and are going to see 75 pounds
mentioned in this following list. Unfortunately I have found in the past
that a lot of hunters feel that 75 pounds and 100 pounds are close enough.
Reality is; the plane will stay in the air with 1800 pounds and might
not with 1900. The second plane for excess is $1500.00 and may be available
or may not. Hopefully the following will help you with your planning and
packing.
