@Tini 
The palette I use the most, and brought on this trip is an old Windsor & Newton Sketcher's Pocket Set. It came with Cotman colors, which are student grade but not awful, and I used them up years ago and replaced them with regular half pans of mostly Dan Smith. There are 12 colors, which is enough that I don't feel like I'm missing anything, and there's just enough space for mixing. 7/8

@ben The paints are mostly from van Gogh or Schmincke Horadam.  As a mixing palette, I clip a 10x10 cm acrylic sheet to my sketchbook. This has proven to be super practical.

Oh oh, I've really gone on and on. Sorry! 
I actually find it really interesting to see what people end up packing, what they really need, and what they can actually leave at home.

@Tini no worries about going on, I could talk gear endlessly in person. It's interesting that huts are part of your painting plan. There are very few huts in the Western US where I hike, and I'm a little jealous.
