Question:

I'm interested in taking an overnight hike and am wondering what I should pack for the camp.

I'll be taking a mountain climbing type of tent but that's all I know of for sure. I've never done this sort of camping before and haven't really camped in years. What do you recommend as appropriate gear? If you know of a list of necessary gear I'd like directions to it. Thanks for any help you can offer.

My hike will be in the spring. Weight is a HUGE issue because I'll be hiking 10 miles per day at minimum and mountain trails will be involved.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
