Jimshaw, your tent looks a lot like mine! It is much like a tarptent for 2 except I had to raise the height to sit up in and I have added in a floor too for 2lbs. I take it yours is a single. You've cut down considerably on the first aid etc. as my miscellaneous probably weighs 2lbs. Something to consider and to pare down again.

dj2, I too have sewn a pack that weighs 1lb some that will carry up to 40lbs but it is not very comfortable at that weight. you're probably a lot lighter than me too and can use lighter gear.
