My list for a week long hike in GSMNP(BM Trail) in mid November. If there is a 0 I have removed the item.
Thanks for the help.

Sleeping bag and quilt?

Why so much rain gear? Kilt or pants? Not both.

Theres a 0 next to items I'm not taking
Didn't see bottoms to sleep in. I'd recommend a complete duplicate of your base layer to sleep in. In addition to this and a puffy, I had a thick capilene hoodie that I wore in camp and to bed. This was in April and May. Not sure what the weather is like in November but thinking that it can be bad.

Some food for thought.
Since your hike will be in November, I would ditch the kilt and keep the rain pants mainly for protection from the wind when stationary at the campsite at night.
There's no need for wind/camp pants if you're bringing the rain pants. Same goes with the soft shell is you're bringing a rain jacket.
Do you need a 6.3 Oz pillow or can you use other things you're carrying to provide comfort at night.

Put new lithium batteries in your Spot before you leave and you won't need a spare set. :sun
BTW, the Spot uses 3 AAA batts, not 2, if you need to carry spares.
I don't know how LighterPack does it, but GearGrams has a 'gear library' and you can use that to make separate specialized gear lists for different trips so that you don't have to use the Zero for items you're not carrying. Less cluttered and confusing that way, especially if you want others to review it. Very handy to have some basic lists for various seasons, climates and regions.

Yay, Im happy to report that I can see the 0 numbers under the qty column. :)
I would bring at least 1 extra stake that has more holding power, for the main tie out of your tent.
There are lighter pillows out there, but that can count as your luxury item.
If I needed a 25* bag, I would want a little more R's under me, than just an xLite.
Maybe think about a different form of fire starter, as your back up.
Compass?
I believe the BD Spot requires 3 batteries.
Have fun.

The silk bade Mayer is my sleeping layer. Perhaps I should carry merino. I do include a puffy.

I really love my pillow!

Those are great ideas especially the batteries!
