Man, I have a drawer of multi tools and just carry a small philips and a Benchmade Bugout. Add a large rock and you can fix just about anything.

An LED flashlight you can hang from a lanyard is nice. That and a MSR whisperlight have let me go years without building a fire.

I use an ancient Mountain Hardwear crazylegs down bag and have a few different inflatable pads for different weather. Tents are personal. I tend to camp with my dog and kid, so a tight two man that can hold off snow and has a decent vestibule is ideal. But I also use a pretty roomy three man with lots of mesh if it's nice out and I'm not going more than four or five miles per day.

I carry a single ti pan, an Osprey pack, a water filter, a ten liter water pouch (doubles as a shower) and a PPK if I'm near the border.
