Water filter - I use a PUR hiker.
BIC lighter - I know its cheating so I often make myself start all fires from sparks.
Coleman Xtreme or XGK stove - in order of preference, cost to operate is reverse order.
7 inch dimeter pans - the larger surface area transfers much more heat than smaller vessels.

Foam rubber pillows from airplanes...

Why carry the ten essentials plus+ ? With a lot of practice you will need less and less. Maybe take 8 essentials and learn to cope without and alternate what you leave at home. Its lighter.
