[quote:Anonymous Coward 477836:MV81ODEyNjZfODg2MzE5Nl9CNTI2REYw] [quote:Chick] best quality backpack water filter you can afford. good tent. sleeping bag rated for the lowest temps you'll find. stove. basic pot/pan/cooking kit. two knives) one "bowie type" (chopping, slashing) and one pocketknife. "leatherman" type multitool small axe/hatchet. fold up saw or cable saw. matches in a waterproof container. lighters. flint& steel. high test fishing monofilament (string). fishing hooks. compass. and something to carry it comfortably in. msr (mountain safety research), north face, kelty, mountain hardware, sierra designs, gerber, cold steel, most r.e.i. and campmor house brand look for these names I have everything on your list except the sleeping bags and the fishing gear. I am shopping for the bags. I do have a type of yoyo type fishing implement that you string out. I have fished with this type before. I have it all packed up inclluding bait and then some stinky stuff for attractant. [/quote] get a good sleeping bag. on cold, wet nights you will appreciate it if you have to use it. i specifically recommend north face and mountain hardware for sleeping bags. oh yeah, and kelty too. if you can afford it, the north face model known as the "cat's meow" has been widely accepted as the best of the best by serious mtn climbers and expeditionist for decades. fishing--- i recommended having monofilament for lots of various purposes, not just fishing..... anything you might need string or lashing for. clothesline, tent guy lines, stitching repairs, etc. and modern high tech monofilament fishing line is a tiny little package for 100-'s of yards of really really strong string :) just learn how to knot it properly [/quote]
Original Message
I have been on only one "felt like zillion" mile wilderness overnight camping trip, and dozens of regular campground type tent trips. I have studied online about gear, have bought some gear, have checked out and read library books, etc. What I really need is personal experience tips from some of you rambo types or others that have been backpack camping or know secrets of survival.
