[QUOTE="nateisw, post: 1286697, member: 44189"] Lots of good advice so far. I went on my first backpacking hunt last summer so I'm not very experienced, but I will say that trekking poles are great and definitely worth the added weight and expense if you don't already have a pair. I use a pair of black diamond trekking poles. I bought a kelty sleeping bag and was happy with it. My stove was a cheap butane stove off of Amazon that worked very well. I found some Vietnamese instant coffee at an Asian food store that already has cream and sugar added and tastes pretty darn good. I used a Sawyer water filter and was fine, but water purification tablets and a steri pen are guaranteed to kill everything. Small headlamps have gotten great in the past few years, but I recently bought a new flashlight for work called the Streamlight Dualie that is fairly compact and light, water proof, takes 3 AA batteries, and I will probably take it along on my next backpacking hunt.
