You got the basics? And you're canoe camping? then this thing is what you seek: Helinox Beach Chair. https://www.bigagnes.com/resources/products/Helinox%20Beach%20Chair-zm.jpg Beach Chair It's only a couple of lbs, it folds up tiny, about the size of say three softballs in a line. It's strong as hell, I'm 350 an it holds me fine. it's fast and easy to fold up and unfold. For canoe camping it's perfect. I use it motorcycle camping. It is also tall in the back so you have a nice headrest. I have the helinox chair one and it's ok, but the lack of neck rest makes it kinda uncomfortable. Perfect for kicking back in camp after a day in an upright canoe seat. Wow. That looked pretty good until I got to the price tag. Ouch. |

I don't know how far off the beaten path you might go, but if you're likely to be out of range of any sort of cellular signal (and most of humanity), and you want your loved ones, friends and yourself to have some peace of mind, there's the DeLorme InReach SE. It enables two-way text communication and tracking via the Iridium satellite constellation, as well as an "SOS" feature if you find yourself, those in your party, or those you might cross paths with, in trouble. The interface on the device itself is a bit balky, but it easily links with any smartphone or tablet through the free Earthmate app that resolves any of those issues. Another plus is it holds a charge for 4 days and it uses a micro-USB port for recharging, which also means that any portable power bank or solar device can be used to recharge it.
Currently, it is selling for about $290. However, it is usually closer to ~$260, but on a couple of occasions it has been on as at $225-$230. There is also a subscription fee, but you can activate and deactivate the device on a monthly basis, as needed. (*NOTE* DeLorme was recently acquired by Garmin.) I've used it all over the past couple of years, including alone in Death Valley (so no worries about ending up like those German tourists  ). Again, the peace of mind it provides cannot be overstated.Amazon - DeLorme InReach SE Satellite Communicator   |

Quote HistoryI used one of those on a WY mule deer hunt last fall. I can't say I was too impressed. They clog easily and the included syringe didn't seem to work too well to backflush it and unclog the filter. It was a real pain getting water, especially when you are at 10k feet and just did a 10mile trek on foot and the only water is a muddy hole that horses have been stomping in all season long. A good water filter is worth the weight penalty IMHO. This year I bought the new MSR Guardian purifier because of how fast it pumps water, as well as the fact that it is advertised to be self cleaning. Hopefully it works as well as advertised. I plan to test it this summer before heading on any trips because getting water is one of the most important and aggravating things when on a camping trip IMHO. |

None of the packing saws I've seen or used are more than novelty items.
This one is a real saw. It weighs more, but you can cut real wood with it too. 
Couple with a hatchet and/or Ontario Knives survival machete, and you can make a lot of tinder, kindling, and firewood in a short amount of time.

Glock 19. It's perfect for every situation. It is big enough to scare away the bears in the woods, and yet compact enough to hide in your travel sized bag of trail mix. If you take a good old Glock 19 into the woods, you don't even need to pack shelter, or food, or anything really. It is that versatile.
