Cool! ... So are You gram weenies or just the conventional backpacker when you get out on the trail? "??" has already brought up "backpack weight", bear vaults / Ursack's, if you want to go around the bulk of the container. Do you hang your food instead?
Do you have a personal list that you refer to, everytime that you go out to make sure that you have those items? Perhaps the REI list that you can download and go from?
Do you have just one backpack for every hike or another for specific hikes? Size? Weight? Do you consider the weight of the pack before purchase? A starting base weight before adding clothes / insulation, knife, food, Crocs, etc?
Sleeping bag or quilt? Down or synthetic? Why?
Sleeping pad? Does cost come into play for you when choosing?
Tent or hammock? Ease of use? Weight? Just prefer?
Camp Kitchen ~
Stove? prefered fuel? Why? Cookset? Coffee mug or collapsable cup? Soap? Spoon, fork or Spork?
Hydration ~
Water bladders, Nalgene or Smart water bottles?
Sawyer water filters, Gravity filtering, or pump style?
I understand the "trip and where to go" erBB interests, but interested in what you "take" with you to make your trip a wee bit more enjoyable / tolerable.
