This thread needs an EDC thread-esque 'what's in your pack' tangent with pics and detailed lists...
Having just packed, can I go first?
Clothing (day):
Wool socks
Merino boxers
Synthetic running shorts
Merino top (long sleeve)
Asolo TPS 520 boots
Sea-to-Summit gaiters
Hiking pole (don't know what brand, ancient)Weather stuff:
Sunhat (crocodile dundee style)
Sunglasses
Synthetic gloves (thin)
Merino buff
Synthetic beanie
Softshell (Mountain Hardwear something-or-other)
Rain shell (Marmot Precip)
Synthetic baseball cap (for wearing under hood when raining, keeps rain out of your eyes)Clothing (night/cold):
Set polyprop thermals
Another pair of pants and socks
Down jacket (just a thin one)
Sandals (for wearing around camp)Sleeping stuff:
Exped inflatable pad
Silk liner, trimmed and re-sewn to tightly fit over pad (i.e. pad goes inside liner, I can't stand being wrapped up)
Alpkit 400g down blanket (again I don't sleep well inside a bag, normal bag too hot in summer anyway)
Travel pillow
Tarp (big enough for 2 people, uses hiking poles)
Groundsheet (scavenged Tyvek complete with paint splots)Eating:
1600ml Ti pot + foil windshield
Big stainless mug (can be put on top of stove = awesome)
Cheap plastic bowl (seriously those ones at outdoors shops are such a ripoff, I got a set of 4 for a dollar and they're lighter)
Ti folding spork (found in a hut)
Ancient MSR stove and 2 canisters (2 canisters for boiling lots of water)
1ltr stainless bottle (carabinered to shoulder strap for easy access, steel rather than plastic so you can pour boiling water into it without it deforming) plus 1ltr collapsible bottle
Hand sanitiserOther:
Headtorch + batteries, earplugs, toothbrush, contact lenses, first aid kit, bug repellent, suncream, painkillers, broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-emetics little Leatherman etc
PLB
Survival kit (space blanket, mirror, compass, fire starter, water tablets, rope, string, carabiners etc)
Map and compass
Camera (olympus XA) and filmBut unfortunately there is predicted to be 'biblically heavy' rainfall Tues-Fri due to a cyclone so we're postponing until the week after (and just doing a little overnighter Mon-Tues in the mountains behind our town).

I usually just keep a few rubble sacks folded up in the lid of my pack but don't make a habit of keeping everything bagged all the time unless I'm carrying clothes.
99% of the time I only carry climbing gear,not camping stuff but it seems to work for everyone since the dawn of time. I generally keep the various bits of my rack in cheap stuff sacks just so I know what's where and bag em up when the heavens open.
Just buy the best fitting rucksack you can find. Like bikes really.
