Thanks, Phat.

The BlackBerry is my cell phone, so it has to come along, at least for now. It does whatever I can find an app for, so long as I have cell coverage, and it has better reception than most cell phones I've used. It'll sit in a ziplock inside my pack turned off until I need it.

For that matter, I forgot to add the weight of my truck key and cash/id/credit card roll. I estimate less than 3oz.

That's a good point about FAKs, and one I've been going round and round about. I need to purchase some basic things for home anyway, so I'll see what I can appropriate for backpacking.

Thanks again. Compared to when I began about 5 years ago, I've made great strides and lost about 30lbs off my pack weight. I'd like to start shaving another ten off over the next few years as I replace gear here and there.
