Kirk,
 The best advice I can offer. Do it right the first time..Stay away from
chrome tan and "shiney " ronnyvoo stuff. It will be a helluva alot cheaper
in the long run.
  I carry a blanket, French haversack, a small kettle, my knife & gun
equipment. My fusil. Oh yeah!, my spoon! And some asst. of stuff in the
pockets of me wekit.  You may want a trail tarp for a leanto, if you are so
inclined..But you don't need much else.
