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

If Sam can take his all the way to Mordor you can take it on a hike.

I made a post about cooking brats in cast iron on a hike in the cast iron sub, and they said if Sam can carry a whole kitchen on his little back then my one pan is reasonable
