for food I can recommend hard cheese and cured meat (parmesian regianno, salami, sopretto)...packs down light and condense...doesn't need refrigeration either...i've lasted 3 days just on that...

during the summer I dont carry a sleeping bag, just a cloth sleep sack...

thermarest pad is a plus

i like to pack a folding camp chair

lots of wool
