BezB & Ice-covered
What’s the minimal set of gear you’d carry for a week in the backcountry if you could only bring three things?
A lightweight, all‑purpose tarp, a portable stove with fuel, and a high‑capacity water filter.
Nice, that’s all you’ll ever need. Anything more, and you’ll just be lugging a backpack that weighs as much as a small animal.
Exactly. The weight of a second item would be a trade‑off I’d never consider.
That’s the whole point—keep it simple and stick with the essentials. No need to complicate things.
You’ll be right; the less you carry, the fewer variables I have to juggle. Simplicity wins, and I don’t play the long‑term game when a simple move solves everything.
Sounds like a solid plan—no extra weight, no extra headaches. Keep it that way.
Will keep it. I rarely need to change a good position.
