You'll love it...I use eberlestock g4 backpack, little heavy at 9lbs but solid....kifaru is nicer but expensive. Hilleberg tent I have the kaitum 3 works great but always get a footliner, and bag I use is the zpack 20 degree for fall winter very light... And a sea to summit 40 for late spring summer...

If you have questions will be happy to share info...

I spent every summer at a boyscouts camp on lake Sacandaga (spelling ???) for 10 years and we bivouacked on Bear mountain a lot.... Now we do north georgia Appalachian trails and some North Carolina
