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
wow, THANKS, xcapekey! all of this was really helpful. i especially like the s24o article, because it inspired me to do just that in order to get a feel for all this touring business. (sort of how i did lifecycle geared to get a feel for doing it fixed.) i'm definitely going to give an s24o a shot. there's tons of nice little campgrounds up north that i could reserve a spot at for one night and come back the next day. so awesome.
additionally, i liked your blog, because it showed me a handful of ultra-mini food prep tools, which will undoubtedly become necessary for me to know my way around.
again, i really appreciate your thorough attention to my plight.
thanks again.
