Good question. There's still some details I'll have to figure out, but there are three aspects to take into consideration, it's just a hike, it's a longer distance than I'm used to and it's in fall where temps might dip below freezing. So I'll bring my 3-season gear + undetermined amount of food. I've been out up to -13c with the gear so the temperatures should be fine

  • Water
    • BeFree filter and a 3 liter bottle for it
    • A separate bottle for drinking
    • Purification tablets in case the filter breaks
  • Food
    • ??? I'll have to figure out how much calories I need on a hike and multiply it by the days we're out
    • Either a gas or wood stove, depending on the weather
  • Sleep
    • Eno doublenest hammock + eno bugnet + dd underquilt + dd superlight tarp + suspension + ropes
    • 3 season sleeping bag
  • Clothes
    • I would normally bring only extra socks, but maybe this time extra underwear as well
    • Probably an extra set of clothes, separate from the backpack so that I can shower after the hike before the drive back home
  • Hygiene
  • Health
    • First aid kit
  • Misc
    • Power bank
    • extra shoes
    • Knife
    • Lamp
    • A thermometer

I don't think it's possible to give an universal answer for that. Can you do it with Haskell? You bet. Can you do it with Rust? Sure thing.

There are plenty of other considerations, such as are you doing it by yourself, are you hoping for a community, for work, how much effort are you willing to put etc.
