Phat,
So true on your last statement (the others are right on, too).

In fact, I spent all morning Saturday going through ALL my gear and weighing every single item. I then started a spreadsheet using the categories from PacLite's TLB homepage. I also followed the link on your signature and reviewed your gear list. Most appreciative!

I realized that I have a few things missing that I want to add.

I plan on reviewing the First Aid kit threads and going through my kit (again).

My skin-out weight was 28lbs (w/o food and water) and I want to try and get that down to 22 before my long hike this summer. But, not quite sure you I'm gonna do that. Ounce by ounce I'm sure.
