wwb - LOL!!! I don't think the RMEF classifies as a REMF unit they are pretty much out front!!
8pointbuck - partner and I used to go through an outfitter in Idaho, setting up in an unguided spike camp. It was way affordable, but as I said it was an unguided spike camp, they just pack you in to the camp, drop you off and you are on your own. It worked well for us, as we were extremely knowledgable about elk & hunting them. We did well, due to the fact that it was a good area, we hunted hard & knew (for the most part) where an elk was likely to be hanging out :? or maybe more accurately we knew where they darned sure weren't likely to be, but if you have ever been elk hunting you know that you never know as much as you think you do about them!!
