This summer I'm going to begin backpack camping. I'm new to this, so I don't really know where to start. What should be my list of items to pack? My biggest hurdle is how do I carry 2 day's worth of water and not just lug around a heavy 5 gallon jug?
My list of items to bring so far, anything I'm missing?
>backpack
>sleeping bag
>tent
>mess kit
>food
>water
>flask of whiskey (for night time cowboy drinking)
>fire starter
>rope/cord
>knife
>GPS
>plastic sheeting
>extra socks
>first aid kit
What else am I missing? Any other advise for a first time backpack camper? I'll be doing this with a friend if that makes any difference.
