Well, I leave everything at home except what I'll need, driver's license, credit card, debit card, and some paper money. Others have mentioned weighting everything, a great idea, you have to concentrate on ounces, 1/2 ounces, 1/4 ounces to get your base weight down. Everything should be used, with the exception of FAK, Survival kit, and maybe rain gear.
