uh i dont need a pad... pads are for girls on their period. plus its hot outsie so no sleeping bag. headlamp i got a maglight with red lense for reading maps at night. i can go without light. use socks as filters and the chlorine is used for purifying.
ill be going off what i can find and condensed MREs. got around 3000 food calories per day. dont need a stove.. i got fire... oh and the area ill be going into has rivers and is swampy and jungle
btw, i have experiance in beating the brush. not long backpacking trips tho.
uh... a compass is accurate... dude i do a lot of landnav. its called an intersection. that give you your location.

few things 1. all i need a red lense for is reading maps at night. and i will be going from point a to b so i need protactors. and gloves is to keep the poison ivy off yoru hands. again I am taking out what i really dont need.
and ive read into the wild. I am going out into thr brush for probably a week... not months. adn if the weather turns to shit, we head for the high ground sit it out or keep going.
condensed mres means you open it up before, take out all the good stuff and take that.
btw, i have done a lot of evolutions and combat evolutions at night so i do know what i am talking about when i say night navigation WITHOUT light. (It is not that hard and I am not planning to do all nighters)
the terrain is hills with occasional swamp, rivers, and lakes. red lense because it doesnt kill night vision when reading maps.
i just dont really see a point of a white light. i mean most of the time, my hooch will be set up before nightfall and i got a fire going. if i choose to hump most of the night, all i need is a red lense to read maps. and ill get different food. just ive been raised on MREs. the taste really doesnt matter. yum cold MREs...
i know military uses gps... i really know... but i would rather use a compass... its 10x easier to use. two reasons why i dont wanna use one. one i cant afford one. two, even if i had one, i wouldnt need it. i got emergency azmuths. we got a road going parallel to our route about 4 miles away. if shit hits the fan, i go there.
