   A normal overnighter will see me carrying my main pack wherever I go and camp when I'm done hunting for the day. This way I have all my gear on me at all times. If I set up a base camp I will just...

    My 2 cents.. Firstly I believe that spending time in the hills when the weather is really shit house is invaluable. Personally I only ever did this on fly in trips that I had committed to where...
