In terms of packing... some people pack more efficiently than others. One thing I can tell from your description is you are probably packing many little bags as tight as you can make them. They are each efficiently packed but don't fit together well in you backpack. I pack clothing and sleeping bag around everything else to fill the gaps.

Other things I have noticed... (1) You have four different ways of starting fires plus you are carrying tinder. Seems a bit of an overkill to me. (2) Are you packing a large green propane bottle for fuel? or one of the tiny iso-butane/propane mix bottles? (3) first aid kit seems a bit heavy. (4) sleeping bags liners do not add much warmth. If you are hot unzip your sleeping bag and stick a leg out.

I agree with the advice above to get a scale and weigh everything.
