someone mentioned the p38 in here, and those are the shit! I lost mine, but my favorite thing gear-wise is probably this sick American Camper multi-tool with a fucking tool where you can use sockets on it, and a few common sized sockets cut out of the handle. Pretty neat shit...

My favorite piece is a 4inch Winchester folding knife I got a long time ago, but it is super light and small, plus I have gutted a whole caribou with it before.

my Kleen Kanteen metal water bottle with pop top. it's durable as hell, it keeps me hydrated and I can use it to boil water other stuff in a pinch.

One of my favorite pieces of gear lately has been my Therm-a-Rest® ProLite Plus self-inflating air mattress.
These damn things are great!
I got the small sized one, it is perfect torso sized, dose not weigh a thing, and when deflated and rolled up it is no larger than maybe a nalgene
Damn glad that I came up on that thing!!

Above my feet, under the stars.
I would definitely say my bedding. Specifically my bag but also my mat. This past winter I managed to lift both from REI in one go. The newest thermarest (1/2 size) and a 10o Halo sleeping bag. If you could wrap yourself in warm clouds, this bag would feel exactly like that. It's super light and packs down tiny. When I'm at home I actually remove the blankets on my bed and sleep in just my bag. It's like my security blanket from age 4.

I kinda miss my old bag because I'm just sentimental, but if you don't have to pay for it there are some very nice things to be said about new gear.

It was my dogs saddle bags, unfortunately I lost them a while back. Now I suppose my favorite piece of gear is my leather fold up cowboy hat. It's not a vital piece of gear, but it keeps the sun out of my eyes. That and my boots.

Probably my camping hammock or this Leatherman-style mulit-tool I found awhile back... to be honest, I've got rather nice gear for a hitchhiker, mostly because I spend more time hiking and camping than hitching these days. Got stuck into a semi-stable but unordinary lifestyle...
