[Mr.Puff]

I just bring a water filter. For food I eat: beef jerky, granola bars, and trail mix. My pack includes: an axe, food, water bottle, binoculars, map, a compass, the water filter, lightweight tent and footprint (with rainfly if it is going to be raining), lightweight sleeping bag (appropriate for the climate), high power LED flashlight (a Fenix), a lantern (slow burn candle type w/ LED built into the base), rope, waterproof matches, knife, tiny first aid kit, poop shovel with toilet paper in the handle, a compact lightweight jacket, and an extra pair of socks. Oh yes, if it is bear or mountain lion country I also have a handgun.
