A nice light weight semi-auto 22lr pistol with a couple extra mags.

For me. Baby wipes are a must.

ear plugs and coffee. Two things I could not go without.

Wish i had a really light weight pair of sandals nice to take you boots off at the end of the day and great for crossing creeks with.

Crocs are good. There are lighter options but they get expensive.

Get a pair of camo wal-mart brand crocs, way lighter, weigh only a few ounces for the pair, and they're like $5.00 so if they get destroyed or lost, no biggie.

Be careful with the crocs. Crappy traction and really bad support when wet if you decide to walk anywhere in them. It can lead to bad wipeouts in what may be a less than ideal location for a wipeout. I have them and have used them but will probably switch to a minimalist type running shoe for camp next time. Something that my foot will not slip or slide out of if/when wet.

I typically bring moccasins. Incredibly useful during archery when everything is dry, I wear them around all day until I get to the trail. Really quiet and light. Cant imagine trying to sneak through the timber with boots, everything is way too loud. I never regret packing the little added weight.

Starbucks vias coffee. I dont necessarily rely on coffee in the morning but it gives me something to do to get going in the morning after sleeping in a pup tent on the mnt.

Are you running in them too?

[fillthefreezer]

ive also realized i cant hack it on the CCF pad, i need at least 2.5, 3.5in inflatable is even better to sleep halfway decent

[fillthefreezer]

ya i meant to say its what i run in*

Arrow Moccasin Double Sole Ring Boot, D-ROCK, for camp.  Easy slip-on, incredibly tough, one piece with double sole, send back for resole when wearing thru bottom sole. Best I've ever worn.

Hey I found something we agree on, I've almost fell on my butt many, many times with my crocs at home. Especially with a wet garage floor, any concrete that has a smooth finish and is wet- very bad with crocs. It's unreal how slippery they can be.

squished toasted bagel, peanut butter, bacon, honey lunch     made four of these at a time.  Worked good.  Wouldn't say I craved it out there, but it I ate them.  Dont use flip flops, can't wear them with socks.  Cheap Nike style, over the foot flops work good with or with out socks.  How about Mens Room on the ipod.
