Ed,
We're all excited for you as you prepare for your first trip. It sounds like you have all the basics covered--food, water, shelter, first aid. Don't forget the flashlight.
I have to chuckle at the faux pauxs we made on our first trip. I carried a camp stool with wooden legs. But my partner topped that by packing a director's chair with iron legs!!
Oh, well. The learning curve is steep. Enjoy your adventure and let us know how it went.
