Okay, so this is the first time I've ever prepared a gear list for camping/backpacking. This is what all I've got together. This list is supposed to be a general purpose loadout for Northern NC, with small changes made depending on the season (heavier bag, etc). Food isn't a full load for 3-5 days, just a general idea of what I was thinking of bringing.

I'm not an experienced camper by any means. I spent a few years in the Corps (but the "camping" you do there is radically different and not quite a transferable skill) and did an outward bound course in college (again, different style of camping with different logistical accommodations), So while I'm not entirely clueless, I'd like to hear from some of you folks. I'm mostly concerned with what you think I should cut. Is there anything you'd add?
