The 10 Essentials on a Budget: Ultra Light and Under $100!

The Ten Essentials are a time-honored list of gear items one should always bring on a hiking trip of any decent size. I wondered if I could put together a minimalist loadout that was not only lightweight (2.5 lbs.) but also inexpensive (under $100). Here is what I came up with!
