Equipment Checklist by Chad Miller, Millers North Outfitting Ltd. 2021

Tripod-Compact (around 2-4 lbs - Slik, Gitzo, Bogen) - with quick detach head – guide will have q Video Camera w/extra batteries; Sony or Canon is best
Face Paint or camo facemask/head-net (Bowhunters only, but not necessary)
Extra bow or bow limbs (Bowhunters) (only if you’re prone to falling a lot)
Specialty food/snacks/jerky/gum or other food if you require a special diet. PACKING TIPS
For the commercial flight to the area, pack gun or bow in a lockable, hard plastic or metal case. The Takedown Shotgun (4.5”x 36” by 14 or 16”) case by ICC plus the large Guide Duffel by Cabela’s is the best or a Tuffpak.
For the commercial flight, pack the rest of your gear into one checked, large duffel or backpack and/or the gun-case/duffel combo (50 lbs or less/bag) and one carry-on/daypack, 2,000-3,500 cu in (around 20-30 lbs), containing essentials – 1 pair hunting boots (wear these), camera, binos, paperwork, Jacket, a few clothes, etc.). The total weight of all equipment should be 70-85 pounds that you’ll be taking to camp. If you are bringing a backpack, I recommend putting it inside a large duffel for better protection before checking it in.
