I've just read an article about the "3 Big Ones" and that being the best place to cut weight. If this is something that we really take to then we'll for sure be getting a very light 3 man tent, I'll make my ILBE a hunting setup and get a new pack, and we may modify the hip belt of her Rim Runner to give more padding.
