Colorado Elk Gear Dump - Archery Season 2025

We’re heading deep into the Colorado backcountry for an 8-day DIY elk hunt in Unit 62, living off our packs and chasing elk in rugged mountain country. In this video, I break down the exact backcountry elk hunting gear list I’m running for this trip—everything from my Mystery Ranch hunting pack to my Argali two-person tent, Jetboil stove system, Crispi Laponia III boots, Hydrapak water bladder & filter, Peax glassing pad, and more. When you’re miles from the trailhead, every ounce counts. I’ve built this system to keep me light, mobile, and prepared to find bulls in remote elk country. Whether you’re planning an archery elk hunt, a DIY public land rifle hunt, or just curious about a proven backpacking elk hunting setup, this gear breakdown will help you see what works in the mountains. Follow along as we pack in, live in the mountains, and chase bugling bulls during the September elk rut. 📌 Gear covered in this video: Mystery Ranch hunting pack Argali two-person backcountry tent Jetboil stove & cook system Crispi Laponia III boots Peax glassing pad Hydrapak water bladder & inline filter And more backcountry hunting essentials If you’re into DIY elk hunting, Western big game, mountain hunting gear reviews, and backcountry living, make sure to hit subscribe and follow along with this adventure. #ElkHunting #BackcountryHunting #DIYHunting #ArcheryElk #PublicLandHunting #MountainHunting #GearReview
