I know each person's will be different depending on their knowledge, experience and comfort level... but I am trying to make a very comprehensive list of a good 2-3 day kit (all inclusive).

Like I've said before, I used to go on hikes and camps all the time when I was Sharp's and Cloak's age (one was 75+ miles). I have slept in snow caves, climbed a few peaks in Washington state and walked more switch-tracks with a heavy pack then I'd like to count. The thing is, I haven't done any of that in over 14 years.

I'm trying to get back into it... for myself, my three boys who are growing up very fast and the scout troop I'm involved in locally (these boys need to rough it for a while. They desperately do!)

So, I'm putting my list together and gathering pieces of kit here and there. I could really use some advice on a few things in particular:

What is your cooking setup?

And what is your layering system, clothes wise (please be specific)?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later, but I'm drawing blanks in those two areas.

Also, I asked this in a previous thread but didn't get a whole lot of responses (thank you to those who did!)...

What is your sleeping setup?

Thanks chaps, I really do appreciate it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
