Is this a backpacking trip, car camping, hike a mile from the car camping, exactly what? How many days/weeks? Not knowing what area you are talking about, I will assume that your silk bag will be enough to keep you warm. You have two compasses, but no map? No cordage listed to go with the rainfly and stakes, hopefully you have some already attached. I see no stove, so assume that you are planning on cooking over an open fire all the time. Be sure that you are in an area where you can actually cut/gather wood, and open fires are allowed. I'd add more lighting, as in lantern/lamp, and something for entertainment, a good book at least. Have fun, and let us know how it went...

Thanks OBG

I go in the southeast, mostly 2days 1 night hikes(14 - 20 miles)

mostly I get an updated map of the area im going to or if an area I goto often I have that map and dont update that often

550 cord is with the rainfly( and the leg strap for my knife is made out of 25 feet of 550 cord)

the snowpeak stove is in 700 with a can of gas

entertainment: Ipod

In that case, I'd say you look good.

Just... wear more than socks, for the sake of those who share the trail. laugh

The list looks pretty good from here. It appears as if you've doubled up on a couple of things, which is good.

I'd add a hat or headwrap. I wear a hat when I'm hiking because my hair is always cut very short and I'm prone to getting a burn on top of my melon. LOL

How's the Hennessey Hammock and Fly working for you? I'm thinking about getting one myself.

Headlamp? If you plan on doing anything after the sun goes down, you'll want one.

I tried white gas in a Zippo. It worked for a bit but evaporated really fast.

I'd vote for Bic over Zippo any day.
