Stuff sack containing breakfast, lunch, and snack items (mentioned above)
Stuff sack containing cooking items:
Coleman Max backpacking stove
1 fuel canister
Metal mug for heating water
Plastic utensils
Paper bowls
Homemade fire starters (egg carton material full of wax)
Mini Bic lighter
Small jar instant coffee
50' paracord (used for hanging food in tree in bear country, doubles as extra shoelace, etc.)
Small first-aid kit
2 multi-tools (one standard Leatherman and one small Gerber)
2 extra lighters (one mini Bic, one butane wind-proof lighter)
Ziploc bag containing possibly messy items:
Bug spray
Hand sanitizer
Sunblock
Nasal spray

Everything above, with the exception of the last six items, weighed in at 29.5 pounds. I also have a camera and GPS that I clip onto the backpack and didn't calculate them into the weight.

Here is my gear list:

By no means is most of it necessary for a first time backpacker, but it gives you an idea of some of the gear I use.

I think my list would just scare people. I have multiple tents, multiple packs, multiple bags, I think you get the point. If I'm going for just a 1-2 night trip I typically go with the following.

Pack - Osprey Atmos 50
Tent - BA Fly Creek UL2 or MSR Hubba Hubba (The MSR has more room to share with my wife)
Bag - Marmot Pinnacle or North Face Cat's Meow
Pad - BA Air Core Insulated

Stove - MSR Whisperlite International
Filter - Sawyer in-line or Katadyn hiker
Cookset - GSI Dualist occasionally something so I can cook something a bit snazzier. (This used when traveling with my wife)

Those have been the main items I have been using. If you have any questions about a specific piece of gear or something you may want to use let me know.
