    Hmmmm, How many times are you gonna post this?

    Anyway, a quick copy and paste...

    Doesn't look too bad, but you seem to be missing some vitals:

    Don't see any fuel for that stove. Add 10-20 oz for that. Bear bag rope? Light source? What about Companion/data book/Wingfoot/maps? Any T-shirts? Initially, your arms will likely get burned in a tank top.

    Wondering about that liner, also. 2oz and +15 degrees?!? Waterproof gloves at .75oz?!?

    Lose the deodorant, razor, clippers (if knife has scissors). Take some Dr Bronners instead of shampoo/soap.

    You have a fleece jacket, vest and shirt. That might be a little much. The fleece shirt and vest will also be carried on warm days. Add all that extra stuff, plus food and water and you are looking at between 35 and 40 pounds. As far food goes 3-5 days worth is usually enough.

    Are you going to carry an extra cell phone battery, but not a cell phone (don't see it on the list)? Consider "bouncing" the camera charger.

    See you on the trail,
