I bought the stove below. A few of the girls that I went with used alcohol stoves and they seem to work pretty well. I was thinking about using sterno, but apparently, it doesn't boil water very well.

Fire source. Bring two in case one fails and test them before you leave. One woman on my trip bought a lighter and it didn't work.

You will need a ground cloth for your tent. The women that I went with found that tyvex is waterproof and light. You can buy tyvex at a home improvement store. It makes a "crinkle" noise if you move it, but it becomes less noisy if you wash it in a washing machine. It also doubles as a picnic blanket if the ground is wet.

You will need a sleeping pad to go with your bag. The two important aspects of a pad are warmth and comfort. The one I had is below, although I wouldn't recommend it for comfort. Even though you might not want to spend the money, I would highly recommend a pad.

You'll need a lightweight bear rope.

I didn't buy this particular rain suit, but a rainsuit is a great buy. I wore mine all weekend and it kept me warm and dry. Try to find one with holes under the underarms for perspiration. The expensive alternative is a Gore-Tex jacket. Some people say leave the pants at home to reduce pack weight.

A first aid kit is always a good buy. It should have bandages, antiseptic, antibiotic cream and a needle and thread. Also bring medication. I bring enteric aspirin, melatonin, digestive aid, and vitamin c.

Map or book. You might just photocopy or tear out the parts you need so you can adjust your pack weight. You'll need water data.

Two pairs of socks, one for hiking, one for sleeping. No cotton. Also, two pairs of clothes, one for hiking and one for sleeping. No cotton for day hiking. Long johns work great at night.

Unless you plan to eat with your hands.
