Long Distance would be the Olicamp pot and canister stove.
Weekend trip would be the Alite chair.

i'm kinda surprised no one has brought up a musical instrument. Personally I've never tried bringing one, but this upcoming weekend I'm going to try and bring my ukulele bass guitar with me to pictured rocks. I know its quite the burden to cary but I know there's people out there who do it!
My camp shoes - love having something soft and squishy after putting those miles down.

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

A camp pillow. Or maybe even a real pillow.
A friend of mine brought one of those to a hang a few weeks ago, and let me play with it. It is now on my want list.Originally Posted by ctebeau
#1 Alite chair with back support for fireside or eating with friends in the group, more comfortable than a log or rock with pad.
#2 A mobile phone with backup battery but if someone else brings a sat phone or m-phone that is much better. Text wife say I'm alive don't sell the dog, is the cat still alive? Non essentials. She can tell me what dreadful teenage's dramas I am missing. On second thought I almost never backpack where there is any coverage at all or so my wife believes, total satellite blackout zones. ;-)
Ukulele Bass? Oh man.... The wife's gonna be pissed.
A Jaw Harp is fun and totally packable. I like the Vietnamese brass Hmong harps.
Sometimes I'll bring a portable 2m/70cm [ham] radio transceiver and a Slim Jim.
I usually always bring my iPhone for pictures and maps.
I often bring an extra blade much bigger than needed for basic camp chores (e.g. I use an Izula but pack an ESEE 6 or Junlgas. lol)
And a bit of whiskey in a Sharkskinzz flask is quite nice at sunset.
E Reader without a doubt.
Either gear sling/hammock chair/pack cover/sink or nook glowlight. Or both.
My Biolite Stove and Kettle. Not light weight at all, but would rather have this than any alcohol stove.
