>>2833259 said, nobody can really tell you without knowing what area you're in. his list is only good for the temperate zone in summer, though, and meant for softies (whcih I guess is a good thing since you're a beginner?).
For contrast, here's what I'd recommend - suitable for everything from 40°C jungle to -20°C german mountains in winter:
>tarp, 3x3m, with some cordage and pegs to set up a ploughpointOnly for extreme rain. I've actually never used mine except for practice, just bring it along just in case.
>sleeping pads. One big, to keep away mud (FDF milsurp in my case, German elephant's skin also works), one soft for comfort (Klymit in my case)>sleeping bag. A waterproof one, suitable for the climateCarinthia Tropen if it's above freezing, bcs it's the only one with a working mosquito net. Snugpak jungle bag sucks and has gaps large enough for snakes and insects to get in. For below freezing, i use a carinthia def4, but down would be better (and prohibitively more expensive).
>Wool clothes. Pants can be cotton denimYes, in all weather. wool is great even in the tropics. Two changes of socks and underwear at minimum. Dry them on your pack as you#re walking. Trench foot sucks.
>bootshard soles, and flexible. Ankle support is a meme, the shaft is only for protection from rocks and branches.
>liquid fuel stovegas fails when it's cold. Ethanol is good until around -20°C, gasoline below that.
>water filterSawyer mini. No real competition.
>Water bottleon the waist belt, so you don't need to take the pack off to drink.
>external frame packYep, alicefag here... But a molle, or a civy model will also do. Your back will thank you.
>knife, FAK, Phone with GPS and offline navAll the "just in case" stuff.
>foodRamen noodles, oatmeal, bacon, or whatever you want.
