What Dan Packs

Based on what you'll be doing, Dan recommends:

Headlamp (rechargeable)

Essential

Hands-free light. USB rechargeable means no batteries to replace.

Bear Canister

Essential

Required in many areas. Also keeps rodents out of your food.

Camping Pillow

Sleeping on a wadded jacket sucks. This packs tiny and makes sleep actually happen.
