My lands, that's a big pack! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I suspect you might be over-estimating how much you really plan to bring along, especially in light of the nicely moderate weight tent and tiny stove you're looking at.

Don't know much about tents either, I'm a hammocker myself.

I'm fixin' to get a pocketrocket just as soon as Santa Clause is done with his world tour. Nice choice.

I'd be real interested to see what you ultimately choose for your pack.

Good luck!
