Spare socks AND toilet paper:p

...and a PUR Voyageur purifier, a Nalgene bottle, some granola bars, pair of Steiner 8x30s, flashlight, raingear, firestartin' stuff, map/compass, and a little first aid kit.
That's traveling heavy.
Dayhike in a known area, I'll sling a 2qt canteen over the shoulder, along with the binos (love binos), stick a couple of granola bars in a cargo pocket, some rolled up tp in a ziplock bag in the other, and start walking. KISS:)

edit: I'll also carry a trash bag sometimes to pick up garbage, and there's a 9'x12' plastic drop cloth in the bottom of my daypack (maybe 1"x3"x8" folded in its package) that could become a shelter, a poncho, a solar still, a sleeping bag...use your imagination.
 
Very good info guys, thanks for all the input. I have decided on my knives finally, I know Taz will kill me if i take the SRK over the Custom :) So I will be taking the Custom and Buck 110. As well as the BK&T PM. The 4 Sandwiches are for both of us. The MRE's are for Emergency use only.


PS: Taz, I will take the Necker with me so you will get the field test :)
