I thought this would be of good discussion, and I'm bored today.

Over the evolution of your pack, and pushing the limits of going lighter and lighter, where did you eventually put a heavier item back in your pack for 3 season use?

For example, I use to carry the tiny little thin titanium shepherds stakes, and after them pulling out once or twice, I now have a few shepherds hooks and a few v stakes for more holding power. However I added about .3oz back to my pack!

One more example, I went back to the traditional sawyer filter over the mini. The mini's inferior flow rate and need of frequent back flush was getting to me.
