    Ooo silk undies. I'm going to use wool until it gets warm, but then probably switch.

    Looks like a good list.
    All I would say is like above, I think you will have a low volume so you wont need a pack that heavy.
    Get a ULA or Miraposa or something like that that weighs less than 2#.

    Youcould probably lose another pound between water cooking and cloths.
