To help you get through without wearing yourself out, here is the Best Backpacking Lite list! In a recent contest, it is a suggested list of items put together by Jamie Shortt. You should do fine, as long as you stay under the suggested target weight, but it is not an ultralight backpacking list. Depending on your particular situation, again, you may have other items and this is only a suggested list:
Backpacking Lite
Titanium Stake
Bear Bag
Insect Repellent
Trail Runners
Unless of course you have additional items that you just can't live without, total gear weight should not exceed 8.3 lbs.!
Two Gauze Pads
Five feet of Duct Tape
Razor Blade
Razor Blade
Four Ibuprofen
One Antihistamine
One Antacid
Waterproof Match Book
I strongly recommend reducing the weight of your gear or even taking less of it or take a look at backpacking lite if you're going on a 200+ mile backpack or more than a day hike, even though most modern gear and backpacks are relatively lightweight. Always remember, never sacrifice safety for backpacking light! Stay on the trail and have a great time!
