On Sunday I was going to go on a little day hike. I wanted to get out in the woods, and shoot a YouTube video on camp food.I downloaded (mostly) my giant man purse, and repacked it for a hike I was about to leave the house when the sky opened up, and it just started pissing rain. I pussed out, and decided to stay in. After throwing back a can of beer I got inspired to shoot a YouTube video on my pack contents. Folks seem to love to see what is in peoples backpacks on YouTube.

Not bad.  I prefer Guinness as it doesn't have to be cooled down much (usually a mountain stream will work) to still taste great

I've since updated my "day-hike" grab-and-go pack:

So, this is my grab-and-go bag for day-hikes or overnight hikes in more moderate weather (typically not below 40 degree lows).  This particular load was for a single overnight trip, but an extra pound or two of food could extend that to two or three days.  This load here is 14 pounds even; no water weight, but it does have a dinner meal and breakfast; some snacks and drink mixes along with enough fuel to boil 4-5 pots of water.

Osprey Manta 30 pack with a 3L Osprey hydration bladder
JRB Stealth Sierra quilt/sleeping bag/worn-insulation; this is a 40-degree quilt and with the extra ounce of down, it's pretty much spot on for me when it comes to comfort.
Exped Bivy/Poncho/Tarp shelter with four mini groundhog stakes and suspension line.
AMK Bivy; bulky but pretty durable as a bivy or ground cover.
Klymit Recon (3/4 length) inflatable pad
Eno Sub7 hammock and whoopee-sling suspension
Folding CCF seat pad

Spare merino wool socks
Merino wool skullcap
Synthetic buff
Glove liners
Leather work gloves (replaced with some Mechanix gloves)
OR Helium rain jacket
Sawyer water filter with two 1L squeeze pouches
Evernew 2L collapsible water bag
Nalgene 16oz water bottle with 300ml nesting titanium cup
Toaks 550ml pot with lid, nesting bowl
Folding spork
Collapsible silicone cup
Trangia alcohol stove with pot stands (updated with a much lighter alcohol stove)
Four-ounce fuel bottle
Mora 510 (actually 511 with the finger guard removed) with firesteel
SAK Rucksack with tweezers and mini-firesteel (dropped)
Small FAK
100mph tape
Bic with protective cap
Zebra AA headlamp
Compass
U-Dig-It trowel (replaced with a much lighter aluminum version)
TP
Hand sanitizer
Bug repellant
Bug headnet
Microfiber wash cloth
550 cord (replaced with Dyneema cord)
Extra batteries (replaced with a single spare battery in Delrin container)
10K mAh battery charger
Tinder/tea-light candle
Added a Silky 130 folding saw



















Now this type of bag relies on plenty of water sources, but I do have a couple gallons of water stored in my truck.  Additionally, I need to ensure my clothing is packed and layered properly for the full spectrum of temperature conditions of the current season.  Now, I don't have any sleeping clothes or a change of clothing (evident by the size of the pack).  This forces me to avoid getting too muddy or wet if temperatures are in 40's.  I also use my HPG Kit Bag which has a layer of redundancy in some area:
