  1. Not really a necessity, but I use them whenever I hike with a pack. In the Sierras (where I've done most of my hiking) sometimes the steps on the trail go higher than any normal person's legs do, so being able to use your arms to help out is a big plus. Nobody has mentioned this here yet, but they also help to prevent sausage fingers from all the blood pooling down there :)
  2. I use these. They work fine. I've never used more expensive poles so I can't compare.
  3. I've tried going with only 1 and it just feels unbalanced. Also, I never know what to do with my other hand otherwise.

Thank you very much for your contribution!

I don't think I will need water filtration system, as for kitchen system I will have to improvise something on a case to case basis, because I'm not prepared to spend a lot of money on that. I have some basic stuff already, and I will pay attention to what I buy in the grocery stores.

Trekking poles: after doing a quick search (in this subred as well), these (Kelty Upslope 2.0 Trekking Poles) seem to be on the affordable side, so I may go with these. I'm not sure I will need them, but you never know... I will also have a cheaper compass, that I have used before, and some traditional maps.

Basewear and down jacket: http://www.outdoorgearlab.com has reviewed some stuff that costs from $50 to $170. I will have to do some more research... Not sure I will need the the down jacket, but I want to have basewear... one newer knows.
