Well, if I decide to take only eight of that items I will take one rucksack, a tent, a sleeping bag, boots, matches and pots and pans.
The first think, one rucksack, is important for carry all others things. I hope the weather are good and I don’t need one waterproof jacket.
The other seven things are importants. If I need to light a fire I should take matches, normally at night is necessary light a fire in front of the tent, to scare the animals and to warm up in the sleeping bag. Some pots and pans for putting water and foot in to heat, and finally, two goods boots to walk a lot.
