Do I assume this is for a March start NOBO?

Need another pair of socks. Two are not enough, IMO
Don't need a repair kit (take duct tape, maybe a safety pin).
I hardly had time to look at a book or cards, but then again, my teen son read like crazy. Unless you are one of those, I'd leave it all at home. I had enough just to write in my journal, look up the data book for the next day's hike, chill with others, then head to bed.
Don't need shorts if you have convertible pants
Plastic bags for what? Just curious.
Only need one lexan spoon (or spork)
what is mid weight fire? DL CC? Asterisks were for something else too - can't figure it out
I'd bounce the phone charger. Don't need the alarm / thermometer either, though some will take a zip pull thermometer that weighs nothing.
Leave steripen if you have the aqua mira, dont need both
Don't need windstopper jacket if you have a rain jacket. Though I did take a wind shirt for summer only.
Head gaiter? Is this like a balaclava?
It looks like you may have two long underwear. can't tell. If so, only need one pair. Or take a long sleeve shirt to hike in and one for camp (I used a merino wool one for hiking)
Your hammock set up is very heavy if its 5 lbs.
Lighter? maps?
I wouldn't count the stuff you are wearing and your poles as part of your weight, but that's me. I think the weight in my pack. But you do need to get down to 35 lbs. pack weight for March start with food and h20. Though five days of food is a lot unless you are in the SMokies. This can vary. Should be okay with four.

Have you done hammocking in the teens? Because it will be cold.
