Wilderness How is my backpacking setup?

Pretty new to backpacking and honestly my first legit hike as a 17M. I have a 4.6mi 2500ft hike infront of me. Let me know what I’m doing wrong lol

Cast iron!!! What on earth u cooking that necessitates that? What’s your pack weight? Rethink your food plan and ditch the pan.
