Hi, how are you?
howdy, doing well. you?
How should we split the gear for this camping trip?
what are you top needs? i am a little low on water and firewood but have plenty of extra food.
Did you need water the most, then firewood?
correct, water my biggest need then firewood. 
I think we can work out a fair deal. I have the same requirements as you but it's possible to split it evenly.
sounds good. what about you get 2 water and i get 1 but i also 2 firewood and 2 food to make up the difference. i would be getting 4 items to your 4 but you getting the 2 waters. what do you think?
How about you get 3 water and 1 food, I get 3 firewood and 2 food, both will end up even since we have the same needs.
i am cool with that.
