The weather in Wyoming can sometimes be unpredictable! However, this time of year is generally 50’s to 70’s on the mountain during the day and as low as 20-30’s at night time. Check the weather 1 week prior to coming to plan accordingly. For shoes you will need a good pair of hiking shoes and a comfortable pair of shoes for lounging at camp when you return from hunting. We do have a black dust at camp that sticks to almost everything, so don’t bring your favorite sneakers or anything with too many holes! Bogs are generally too warm and not the comfiest. An old comfy pair of sneakers or easy to wash, hard sole slippers is a good idea. It is easy to pack too much, but remember you are only on the mountain for 6 days and will be wearing your camouflage the most. See our downloadable checklist below for specific clothing and other items to bring.

Baby wipes are always a good idea for the mountain and we provide toilet paper. We do have a shower at camp hunters are welcome to use, so a small bottle of shampoo and soap would be fine to bring. A towel, toothpaste and toothbrush, moisturizing lotion, chapstick (Aquaphor works best), sunscreen, shoe powder, and of course deodorant. A garbage sack or something for your dirty clothes is a great idea to separate your clean clothes from the dirty ones. If you wear glasses or contacts, remember your cases for each and plenty of saline solution.

We make fresh breakfast and dinner each day and you are provided with a sack lunch during the days you are out hunting. We have snacks, soda, alcohol, and purified water available. You are welcome to bring a small bag of snacks, however everything must be stored in bear boxes so we ask that you limit your snacks to one gallon size bag per person. We have snacks and provide you with plenty during the day for your hunts, but if there is something specific you would like to keep in your backpack during the day, feel free. You are also welcome to bring drinks of your choice wether it is your favorite alcoholic beverage or soda. Cans work best, we do not recommend glass.

We have a water purifier on the mountain and provide you with plenty of drinking water but we do ask that you bring a good water bottle to refill and use throughout the week. If you have a small compact water purifier straw you can bring it, but you probably will not need it. We also provide soda, juice and alcoholic beverages.

We provide you with your own cot equipped with a foam pad but you will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. We personally use fleece lined Teton sleeping bags rated for 0 degrees and toss a light fleece blanket in them. It is not necessary to buy a new sleeping bag if yours is not rated for that cold, but a warm blanket is a good idea to toss inside your bag, it makes a big difference. A lot of hunters wish they had not brought their mummy bag, so try to stay away from those. They make it hard to move and roll over during the night.

We recommend bringing small, pre-charged battery packs or solar re-chargeable packs. We have a couple solar chargers that you are welcome to use throughout the day but if it is cloudy you can’t count on getting a good charge. You will be taking a lot of pictures while you are with us and you need something for an alarm in the mornings. Due to regulations and our location, we do not have anything battery operated or any sort of generators for charging. During down time we often go fishing, so a small compact pole that fits in your backpack is welcome. We have lures, but you are welcome to bring a small box of them if you have favorites you enjoy using!

We have first aid kits at camp and our guides cary small compact ones in their backpacks, but a small basic one is a good idea to keep in your pack. We also have some basic medications with us on the mountain but if you struggle with heartburn, frequent headaches, etc, it is a good idea to bring a couple of your go-to’s with you. If you take any prescription medications make sure you bring plenty with you.

Do not forget your licenses! You will need your elk license and a copy of your conservation stamp printed out. Place them in a small sandwich bag to keep them dry and keep them in your toiletry bag or backpack, whichever is sure to make it into camp! Also, we do not provide you with game bags, so please bring your own for your meat. Always pack extra ammo, broad heads, arrows, etc.

At camp we do not have cell reception. While you are out hunting during the day you may run into spots of service but do not count on it. We do have satellite phones and Garmin inReach devices for communicating with people back home. They are worth looking into but most people are grateful for not having reception for a week and just use ours occasionally throughout their stay.
