BZH has "stolen" laugh my lines, so I'll just say that I fully agree with him! In addition to taking your gear, be sure to take the weight/bulk equivalent of a week's food and a day's water for the pack tryon.

Take a look at articles on the home page of this site, left hand column for more info on selecting a pack and other gear.
