The idea of taking a just enough in a pack is the idea I always used. Fire and fire starter are a must. Small first aid kit. Socks.
As far a clothing. Make sure you have a goretex jack therefore saving carrying a rain coat. Gortex boots and gloves. 'Trim it down. No need for 6 pairs of socks 2 or 3 will do. Plan your clothing so you don't have to take a lot of extra stuff like 2 shirts, one heavy and one light. One pair of pants. You can always dry them off at night if necessary. Much the same idea as tin foil is a space blanket. Don't go crazy with ammo. Usually 1 box is more than enough. Simple gun cleaning kit. I carry a rod, a few patches, rag and oil. Enough tools to fix your gun should something happen. I have a BAR that requires a 9mm wrench to take off the swivel. That goes. Multitool's are good. Think oz's and the pounds will follow.
Then again if you can drive to a lodge, hell take it all.
