So I guess I come in at 15 (as two "almost ish" anything is -.5 lbs). But it don't matter - I'm nice and comfy.

Pack: Dana Design Terraplane. 7ish lbs. sounds good. I probably won't actually weigh it.
Tent: Garuda Atman compete with main poles, Easton stakes, footprint, stuff sacks. 4 1/4 lbs.
Sleeping Bag: WM Antelope Super Dryloft in stuff sack. 3 lbs. 2 oz.
Pad: Thermarest Ultralight, full length. 2 lbs.

Total: 16 lbs. 6 oz. Not too bad for what is a legitimate 4 seasons, all weather, go anywhere, stay gone for a week or more without need of grocery stores kit. Add the stove and it comes to an even 17 1/2 pounds.

16.40 oz Exped Synmat UL7 (w/o stuff sack or repair kit)

120.4 oz/7.52 lbs total.

Switching to a quilt next season which will cut half a pound. Probably add a 1/8 pad to the Synmat, wish I could get away with just foam. Don't really see myself going the Tarp/pyramid route any time soon, although the Hexamid looks very appealing. Circuit size is perfect for a bear can or multiple gallons of water.

Update:

29.70 oz HMG Windrider
04.80 oz Zpacks Hexamid Tarp
06.90 oz Borah Gear Side Zip Bivy
34.00 oz Western Mountaineering Versalite 10*
16.70 oz Therm-a-Rest ProLite

92.10 oz/5.75 lbs total.

**nastynate** · 06-07-2013, 08:25

Osprey Exos 58 minus top lid: 36 oz
Lightheart Solong 6: 34 oz
MYOG 5.0 Apex Quilt: 24 oz
Ridgerest Solite: 9 oz

Total: 6.4 lbs

**Coffee** · 06-07-2013, 08:34

ULA Circuit 38 ounces
Marmot Helium Long 36 ounces
Hexamid Twin tent, cuben groundsheet, guylines, stakes 20.2 ounces
Thermarest Prolite 16.7 ounces

6.93 pounds

low hanging fruit for lightening up for summer is a light quilt. Helium is way too much bag for East coast conditions in summer, although should be perfect for Sierra Nevada in Aug/Sept.
