Hiking gear?? what all do you need?
Clothes, raingear, steel wool, camp stove, food, knife, cooking pans, water purification tablets, maps, food, sleeping bag, large plastic sacks for rain shelter, rope (100 ' of 3/16 nylon), 3 partners, ground pad, 2 way radio, 10 mile range, not a cell phone. Flare gun, for rescue, tear gas for bears, and panthers, towel, TP, trenching tool to dig a sanitary pit, cup, to drink from, signal mirror, soap, candles, 1" dia, matches, lighter, 1st aid kit, knowledge of the area, 2 days food for every day of the trip. Pencil and writing paper to leave a message if you leave a camp, for when you expect to return. Leave a message when you depart so somone can send a rescue party after you if you do not return on time. A whistle, to get attention, easier than yelling and it will carry further. This should all fit on 2 pack mules, oops you are back packing, a single tent. This is just a rough suggestion, include spare dry socks, and a change of clothes if the trip is more than 2 days. Clothes pins, spare "D" cells for the flashlight, they also will start a fire with the steel wool or SOS pad.. Do a google search on survival kits.
