- Backpack KS-Ultralight Daypack (stripped). I removed the key hook & front compression straps, and cut out the laptop sleeve. It does rely on a zipper to open or close, which is not my favorite, but it is a high quality, sturdy zipper unlike many daypacks. It has the best side water bottle pockets of any Daypack in this weight range.

- Pad Gossamer Gear Torso Foam Pad - 3/8". This has an estimated R-value of about 1.4 to 1.5, which should allow adequate insulation down to 40F. It just fits inside my SUL backpacks to serve as a kind of backing. My 3/8" ccf torso-length foam pad performs poorly on hard shelter floors so I'll be looking to set up camp in non-impacted dispersed sites.

- Purification Micropur Tablets (0.6g/L x 4L/day). I prefer chemical treatment methods to filters: no fear of clogging, breaking, freezing. Takes much less effort to treat water: it does the work while you hike. I prefer these to the lighter Aquatabs because of taste.
