tl;dr: I need advice on essentials for a short survival-based wilderness hike. I want to bring as little as possible but still be able to make it out without any unfortunate incidents.

Okay /out/doorsmen, here's the deal.

I've been living in Tennessee my whole life, and I can fish and hunt as well as any other red-blooded Southerner. I am, however, relatively new to hiking. I recently moved to Chattanooga, and the Smokies have inspired me to get in touch with the mountain spirit.

I'm planning a four-day hike, not sure where yet. I don't want to be near many people (if anyone), and I want it to be a trial-run for a bunch of survival-themed trips I'd like to go on.

I need a recommendation on a good bag, and I need a small list of essential supplies. I'll be fishing and hunting for my meals, so I'd really only like to bring the smallest amount of rations needed. I know that's usually a big "don't" but it'll only be for four days.

Berate and enlighten me. You folks are usually good at that.
