I am always wary of people who ask for advice AFTER they've already bought a lot of stuff. Are you looking for validation?

Sure, the stuff you bought will work, mostly.

Are you asking if this is what WE would have bought?

Almost certianly no---for lots of reasons: weight, cost, suitablility for our trips.

Now that we have that out of the way....

Fire starter? BIC lighters. 2. Way easier, way more dependable.

Leatherman? What piece of equipment are you going to fix with pliers, a screwdriver, etc? This is a serious question. Your camping stuff is made of nylon. A leatherman is dead weight.

If you want to see what we WOULD bring on a trip, check out our website...or check reference materials on this site.
