Well I won't be robbing you will I? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Okay ... 7 days. I have camped relatively comfortably for 7 days with what I can fit in a backpack so no need to load up a backpack full of gear. However I have no clue where youre dropping me so two situation I need extra preparation for IMHO are lack of water and extreme cold. So I will bring my basic 7 day PSK/BOB (contents listed below) which fits snuggly in Maxpedition M-2 belt puch or even in a couple pocktes. I will then add a heavy down coat and longjohns which I can ditch or use for tinder (or something else) is I'm not dropped off in a cold region. In addition to that I will take a backpack containing two 3600 calorie mainstay rations and as much water as I can possibly squeze in to it, which should be over 2 gallons in an average day pack. Clothing worn would be comfy shoes, jeans, tshirt, long sleeve shirt, socks and underwear.
