Hoping for some help with my gear list. I have been lucky enough to work at an outfitter for a while and was able to attain basically everything I need pretty early. I am still looking to upgrade a few items as I tweak my setup but please let me know what y'all think about weights, items, etc.

All-in-all, I think everything adds up to about a 15 lbs without food/water...which will bump me up to about 27 lbs(which is what I usually hover around for 3-5 day hikes).
I am pretty content with the weight, but I wouldn't mind shaving off probably 3-5 lbs where I can find it.
