>>642341Research and practice bushcraft. Knowledge won't weigh your pack down and gives you a good base layer incase you're caught without your gear.
My EDC is my fire kit, mora 2, opinel, spare mag, handgun, surefire, 550 bracelet, and a metal canteen. To make things easy all I need would be a tarp and I'm good to go. So I take my daily gear and just add things that makes my days innawoods easier.
Primarily my main bag is a Eberlestock just so I can carry a long gun, but I spend a lot of nights and days out with a small maxpedition condor 2 or a even smaller messenger bag to keep my weight down. I like to stay around 20 ish pounds minus rifle and water when I'm rolling "heavy" and I'm around 10 pounds or less when I'm "light".
