Mine is by no means lightweight, but this is what my pack is carrying this year.

My pack is an LLBean Hunters Pack: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...mp;feat=8884-tn


8x8 tarp (soon to be hex3 type shetler without the pole)
2 yards of fleece material that is 54" wide - compacts nicely and pretty light.
coleman peak stove, gas and 1 dehydrated meal
water
rain jacket
extra warmth layer (torso)
winter hat
extra gloves, socks
dragging rope and smaller rope for tarp if need be
logging tape, leatherman, extra compass, flashlight and extra batteries, knife sharpener, first aid kit, bag balm, matches, emergency blanket.

I also use an old camping mat, cut into 3rds that rolls up and gets strapped to the outside of my pack for a seat when on stand. Should I need to stay in the woods it will provide better insulation than the ground alone at least for my torso.

It's good to lead - it's better to lead by example.
