I am now looking to do overnights and maybe two night outings with camping equip ment. Thus I need a different pack, besides smaller tent. I'm questioning the ne ed for a small stove on the shorter hikes. I'd like to ask those who have more m iles under their belt what equipment they have found that works, and what they f ound was unnecessary. Probably most important is a decent water purification sys tem,(normally carried it) and a medical kit and a good pack that will allow quic ker access to equipment while hiking. Thoughts also on a GPS.
