This is the minimum gear I will take when 3 season hiking in New Zealand & suitable for Te Araroa

My approach to is hiking to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. So I take 1 x Set of Hiking Clothes and 1 x Set of Camping Clothes, So if I fall in a river, I can change all my clothes out for a nice, dry night. I use layers, so you can adjust to the elements and temperature, during the day, evening and overnight. I use a bag liner and dry bags to organize/waterproof my food, quilt, electronics and clothing. I aim for 10-20% of my body weight when fully loaded. I'm 85kg so between 8-16kg is a comfy carry. Food is approx. 0.5-1kg a day + water.

I'm running heavier this time round due to camera gear, long jacket and a towel.
