This is a "Standard Equipment Load" for my Characters.
It is sized for a Medium Being, so adjust the Weights accordingly if you're a Smaller or Larger one.
For each Size smaller, half the value; for each Larger, Double it.
Fine, Diminuative, Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan, Collossal.
In all cases, unless otherwise noted, the items are of MasterWork Quality.
If you ask "How much did this all cost?", then you're asking the wrong question.
(The answer is "A Lot", but the question you SHOULD have asked is "You're a Closet Boy Scout, aren't you?" to which the reply is "Better to have it & not need it, than need it & not have it.")

This is a MasterWork quality, Military style, Frameless Hiking Pack.
The Shoulder & Waist straps are belted with metal buckles, allowing it to be as snug or as loose as desired.
If they're all cinched down tight, it's not coming off you -Not during a Tumble, not during a Fall, & certainly not during Combat- unless someone *saws* it off your corpse.
It contains the following:
A Winter Bed Roll (Heavy Woolen Blanket, Pillow, & Oiled Canvas Tarp to use as a Rain Cover or to fold around the rest & keep it dry). 10 pounds
Metal Mess Kit (a Military style sectioned "Plate", a set of Utensil's, & a small Sauce Pan slash Bowl that it all nests into, with the Carry Handle forming the clip to keep it closed.) 1 Pound

This is a Heavy Duty, Reinforced, Metal Grommeted, Oiled, Canvas web belt with metal buckles.
It is constructed to distribute its load evenly, readjusting to the wearer's body as the Wearer moves, the Load shifts, etc.
It is designed to remain on you, no matter what you do, or have done to you, to dislodge it.
The Metal Buckle has a "Lift & Twist" lock that can be released with one hand, but isn't likely to come undone "accidently".
It has six "Small Belt Pouches", all of which are also heavy duty, reinforced, metal grommeted, oiled, sealable, canvas.
It has two Belt Loops, made of heavy duty, reinforced, metal grommeted, canvas.
You can remove anything from it as a Swift Act, provoking no Attack of Opportunity.
It has a maximum carrying capacity of Ten (10) Pounds, and any more than that rips off your pants.

Total Carried So Far: 26 pounds
This is a Heavy Load for someone with a Strength of 4, a Medium if 5, and a Light Load with 9.
If you have a STR of 4, I suggest rolling up a new character, since that one may be dead soon.
