You can't skimp on the sleeping bag. Western Mountaineering Megalite is a standard choice. Also can't skimp on the tent. I agree with the jetboil, MH and dehydrated fruit recommendation.

not too big at all, it's great and much better than a mess kit.

I think mountain house is overrated and over priced

they are expensive and if you can make your own, that's a great idea. Although

How heavy is your tent and sleeping bag?

My simple old school backpacking chair is a must. I prefer Mountain House today

Follow up, I don’t typically use a tent backpacking, most of which is in AZ

If there's a stream near your drop off point then hide a can of pop under

I wonder how many cans of pop are strewn along trails around the U.S.? Ha!
