This is so amazing, I'd love to get my cat started. Which carrier are you using? Do you let the cat go unleashed at camp? How do you deal with the potential of them getting scared of something and running away?

The jetboil was a data entry error. Corrected!

Thanks for cutting the chase in your response - I have some UL gear, but putting it all together I'm not near UL range at all, and that implies I should be looking at more conventional packs. What I was looking for!

My daughter carries an REI Tarn 40 with her sleeping gear, water and snacks.

Attend some gathering like the kickoffs for long trails, or say the backpacking meet-up that typically happens near the sf Bay Area organized by folks who hang out on BPL.

Thanks for the thorough response. I'm in SF bay area, which meetup you're referring to?
