Hey, so it's been about 20yrs since I've done any backpacking. I'm planning on going at the end of April, only about a 4km hike from the road, and only one night.

Please don't laugh, I want to do something short first, just to figure out what I forgot or what I don't need to bring with me.

Plus the GF will be going with me. She's petite and thin, but not particularly fit. I'm an avid 10-15km/day-hiker, but I'm unsure how far she can go, and I'm determined that she's going to come away from this with positive feelings...I don't want to push her limits until I know what sort of a hiker she turns out to be.

Anyways, here's my list of stuff I'm planning to bring along. Any additional things I should or shouldn't be bringing? I'm open to constructive criticism

We will only be out there for supper/breaky/lunch, so for meals I was just planning on bringing frozen beef along for day #2. No need to dehydrate for this trip IMO.
