I have gear for backpacking. To wit, this includes the following:
sleeping bag
tent
hammock - the explorer deluxe asym zip model
Nova stove
Venom stove
Cheap Amazon stove
Coleman stove - for camping with the gf
Small, field serviceable water filter
Backup, Fire, Starters
An emergency blanket or two
An RD7 knife, which I can't link because I'm at work and it's filtered...
A folding pruning saw that you can buy at any hardware store, I think mine was $7
For a cook kit, I have nylon forks and spoons, a soup can to cook in(the venom stove fits inside it perfectly), if the gf is coming with I bring this cooking kit instead to go along with the big Coleman stove.
With my hammock, I bring what's called an underquilt. I can't link you to this because I made it myself, but it's two sheets of nylon material with mesh fabric sewn in between to make box tubes, then the box tubes are stuffed with goose down and the blanket is sewn shut. It's extremely light, fairly warm, and I tie it up to the bottom of my hammock to keep my backside warm in weather below 65F. In a pinch I can add one of my emergency blankets between the hammock and underquilt for extra warmth.
I also bring headlamps that have a red led and a white "high power" led. No flashlights or lanterns for me, they're too bright. I have a small, brightly colored dry bag that is full of first aid stuff and an assortment of odds & ends in my backpack's top pocket.
I also bring an old 35mm film canister with 6 dice inside and a tape-laminated copy of the rules for playing Farkle. With the 6 dice you could also play Yahtzee or several other dice games.
These are the same same things but are sold for starting bbq fires, and are packaged a little differently. They cost only $3.29
Edit:
I found a bunch of cheaper versions of this style of fire starter:
12 pack for $5.99, prime offer
Larger cubes, 20 pack for 8.41, prime
One more
