Cool!
The secret for older guys like us is to keep down the weight. Should
be able to do a two or three dayer around twenty pounds, which is
pretty manageable.
When you come out West we need to backpack into a lake for an overnight.

fawn lake!! ;-)
i'm working on the light load principle...esp. since my belly has
decided to add to the load.
just got a light sleeping bag suitable for 3 seasons in nc (35F)...2
lbs. the tent is about the same. thermarest also...so that leaves 13
pounds for the food, right? g
I go on the same 2 pound principal and have a similar setup to yours
along with a pack that weighs about 2 pounds.
Here's the stove I use:

It works great for boiling water (not a cook stove) and only weighs an
ounce.
Here's the type of filter bottle I use:

You can often get them on sale for about $10. I learned the hard way to
replace the filters more frequently. I now get a new filter each season.
The Lemonade is Crystal Light. Very compact and light.
don't have a stove or water purifier
yet, and just a few basic (cheap) utensils. like me, this camp-fish
thing is still a quirk in progress.
when i see you again, i'll want you to show me that water
purifier/lemonade system you had on slough creek...that was tasty and
refreshing.
