If the idea is a hike first, photography second then the only helpful additional kit I'll carry is a small folding Lastolite reflector - in this case, I'm quite likely to be with people who wouldn't want to hang around while I spend ages setting up a shot - i.e. my kids! In all honesty, under those circumstances I would much rather carry M6 or CL and a couple of lenses, or the 3.5F - the much heavier and bulkier EOS kit only goes if I'm expecting to find something that'll need macro treatment. If the idea is a photographic hike, then I might well carry the tripod, flash and off-camera cord, two reflectors and a remote. Not for a multi-day hike, for sure!
