My Base weight is down to 9.5 lb. - Not including my more elaborate and heavy photo gear (compared to most). Feeling GREAT about that. Now if I could just keep from loading down with excess food...

Are you having a conversation with yourself?

IIRC, Rocketsocks is currently hiking, and Mrs. Rocketsocks is on his account.. Or am I thinking of someone else..

I don't really count because I'm only carrying half a tent, but Total Gear I'm @ 19.4 lbs - Base Weight (everything on my back) is 15.5 lbs. If I got a down sleeping bag again and exchanged my BA Insulated Air Core, I could shave probably 3 lbs off that.
