Boulder Tuff, all these guys have gave you some dang good advise, I will try to add to it a little, if you can find a outfitter or guide to kinda hang out with for a couple seasons would be great, tell them you will work hard for them just to learn from them, set up camp, tare down and pack up, cook...
