However that's a list for the south of England, which is going to require less equipment than say, a five day trip in the Smoky Mountains. The equipment you require really depends on exactly what you intend to be doing. Do you have anything particular in mind?

30lb bag of peanut butter

isn't this in the sticky?

What do you do with your stuff if you are bivouac camping, like when you're out hiking?

Of course, you need at least 30lb so that you can barter for other things when you run into other backpackers

fuck off and google "the ten essentials" and come back when you are willing to lift at least a finger to help yourself.

people aren't going to spoonfeed you out in the wilderness

A knife is the most valuable and essential tool.

Cocaine. Cocaine is a hell of a drug um I mean energy source when your /out/ trekking for 60 miles in three days and two nights across rugged trails at high altitudes. You just snort some cocaine every hour or so and the cocaine gives you the energy and determination you need to get over those high (hehe) mountain passes while carrying a 70 lb pack full of cocaine uh I mean food and supplies. Cocaine is the only cocaine you need while /out/ because cocaine is a hell of a dru, um I mean energy booster and determination throttler shit I'm gonna go have me a couple of fat lines right now. FUUUUUCCKCKKCK!

Now do it fit all the essentials inside a canoe?

Knives are important but not the most important for regular camping. Survival camping is a different thing altogether
