I carry a pillow and a myriad of camera equipment. My camera equipment has almost become part of my essentials because I receive so much joy out of recording my adventures. I recently did a weekend trip where my camera broke on the first day and it kind of put a downer on the rest of the trip; not because it broke, but because I could not take pictures and video of some amazing places.

This season I started packing a frying pan for my Jetboil. It is completely not need but man it really opens some new doors for cooking in the middle of nowhere.
