I'll second the sawyer squeeze. It is awesome. It save a lot of water weight because now I just carry it and a regular plastic water bottle with me.
Also, as far as packs go. Don't get one with more storage capacity than you need, or you will be tempted to fill it up with nonessential items

Smart water bottles attach directly to the Sawyer also. Don't buy Nalgene bottles. Too expensive and too heavy.
I learned that lesson early. I saved a half pound by ditching the Nalgenes.

What about borrowing gear? A lot of people have spare everything from when they upgraded and never got rid of the old. I'd check with your buddies before you spend dough on the larger items.
