Maybe people are tired of commenting on gear lists, but I loved looking through those threads so I'm putting mine up for comments and suggestions. My wife and I are leaving Springer on March 30 and are hoping to get to Harper's Ferry by mid June (if we don't, we don't, but it's our goal). I'm carrying the tent and she'll be carrying some other shared gear. The base weight for the kit below is about 15.25 lbs, not including the shared gear my wife will carry.
I've bought or already owned the big 3 and clothing.
* denotes estimated weight. Everything else is based on company specs or has been personally weighed.

Clothing in pack
Icebreaker 260 LS - 9 oz (for sleeping)
Capilene 3 bottoms - 7.5 oz (for sleeping)
Nike Dri-Fit Tshirt - 5.25 oz (considering leaving at home until I hit warmer weather, I'm fine rolling sleeves up on my Icebreaker 150)
Generic microfleece halfzip - 9 oz (don't know if I need this and the down jacket; will see what I like to use and may send this back)
GoLite Demaree Canyon 800 down jacket - 14 oz
Icebreaker Hike Lite Mini socks - 2.15 oz

Cooking and water
Homemade alcohol stove - 2 oz* (carried by wife)
Homemade windscreen - 0.5 oz* (carried by wife)
Alcohol - 8 oz* (carried by wife)
Snow Peak Ti Cook n Save 2L pot - 8.6 oz (carried by wife)
S2S Delta bowl - 2.8 oz (without lid)
Chinese soup spoon - 1.5 oz* (love the volume of these spoons)
Matches in a ziploc - 2 oz*
Bic mini lighter - 2 oz*
3x 1L Platypus soft bottles - 3.6 oz (closure caps)
Miscellaneous
50' Mt Laurel ECO Line rope - 1.2oz
Petzl Tactikka Plus headlamp - 2.5 oz
Leatherman Micra - 1.75 oz
Crappy cell phone and charger - 4.5 oz

Am thinking about adding a Kindle or an iPad mini, which would add 10-14 oz. If I bring the iPad mini, I'd probably ditch the cell phone. I'm not interested in rehashing the electronics vs no electronics argument - that won't play into my final decision here.
My wife's weight is maybe a pound lighter. Her pack (Osprey Aura 50) and sleeping bag (Feathered Friends Egret 20) are slightly heavier and she's carrying some shared gear, but I'm carrying the tent and her clothes are slightly lighter.
