[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1527141, member: 4191"] There will probably safe sources of drinking water. I don't recall ever having to boil lake water. Have melted some snow. The items you mention taking are so small and light, you could always take them just in case. I don't take shovels. I don't pack a pistol when I'm packing a rifle. But the pistol isn't a bad idea. Just personal choices. I expect your pack to be ~55 - 50lbs, with the gear you've mentioned. Those tents are heavy. My pack some weighs 8-10lbs. Then add the food, clothes, sleeping pad & bag, rifle, spotting scope, binocs. I'm at 35lbs when headed out to spike camps with a 1-man tent. I've got 18lbs into my rifle, ammo, and empty backpack. Leaves another 18lbs for everything else. A big bear hide with skull can be 110-120lbs. That's when the weight becomes a serious matter. [/QUOTE]
