>>1417903You basically break it down to shelter, food and water. The basics of survival.
Shelter:
1) Hammock mode:
Hammock, Rainfly, Sleeping Bag, Underquilt (only if cold climate).
2) Tent mode:
Tent, Tent footprint (may not be needed if not raining and/or arid climate), Insulation (either foam or inflatable), Sleeping Bag, Rainfly (depends on how impermeable your tent is and the ammount of rain you expect).
3) Bushcraft mode:
Axe, Flolding Saw, Knife, Cordage, Tarp, Sleeping Bag
Water:
Containers: The ammount of water you need to carry would vary on the distance you cover, the climate you are in and the availability of water.
I wouldnt go lower than 3L though. I personally carry 2x 750ml Bottles, 1 1L Canteen and a 500ml squeeze bag.
Purification:
Here you have many options, but you want your water to be as safe as possible so I would use more than one method.
Tablets, Chrlorine drops, Sawyer Mini (avoid Lifestraw), Self Made (Gravel, Sand, Charcoal in a bottle or something like that), Boiling.
I am ultra cautious and usually have a Sawyer Mini + Chlorine with me and usually do Sawyer Mini / Filter created on place + Boil + Chlorine.
I would also suggest filtering your water through a cloth before your first filter.
Food:
Heating:
I personally use a biofuel stove, something like this;

You might find some trouble on resupply if you are on a long trip though.
Conatiner:
Titanium is expensive but its the most light weight you can go.
You should look for something that has an hermetic seal in case you want to cold soak.
You should also consider a pan if you want to fry things or cook meat in other fashion other than stewing them.
Edibles:
Dry food, pasta, lentils, beans, rice, oatmeal, tea/coffee, spices.
Perishables like meats, fruits you get on the road.
