Don’t forget the stove, oven, microwave, and big screen tv! J/K!
To be serious, packing less gear is better. Some items that can be omitted includes: axe/saw – if the wood is too big that you cannot break with your hands, then it’s too big to burn in a personal campsight. Coleman Stove- try using backpack stoves. Soap(s)- get biodegradable soaps- From Sea to Summit makes the best that is out there. Gander Mountain carries them. For food, repackage it before you leave for camp, you will have half the garbage that you would have had normally. One trick that I do for camping is to bring a screen (7′ by 3′) and I put it under my cooking/eating area. That will collect all “micro litter” that slips between the cracks which in turn doesn’t allow for our furry friends to become dependant on human food…
