Who needs a pad when you got that bag?
Bear keg? that means your too close to a campground. If somethings hungry where do you think has the most food? A daypack too?? I just must be a minimalist….. The only reason you need poles is cause’ your bag is too darn heavy.

I carry only around 35lbs, and that’s mostly comfort, and food items depending on my destination. I would bring the wife, but she weigh’s too much for my pack.

Overall this video …
Overall this video quite reasonably covers the basics. Some of us use light and ultralight versions of all of these items. To each his own. Everyone has their own style for backpacking.
I carry less than 20 pounds of packed weight but delete many items that others would consider essential.
I do recommend using a Mont-bell super stretch (800) down sleeping bag it’s very roomy and extremely light. It’s compresses to the size of a loaf of bread.
Hike your own hike.
