No ATV's, but we do plan on renting a horse (or mule) to haul some of our gear. I'm going with guys who have hunted here before, and cell phones do work. I am in the process of buying a GPS.

I have a magnesium/flint firestarter, and some trioxane tabs for fire. Also taking a couple of lighters, and some waterproof matches if I can find them.

One fellow (not one of the hunters) told me he "heard" (he didn't know either) that walking/hiking while breathing through a straw helped condition your lungs for the high country. No idea if that's true, but I may try it.
