Thanks for the input. I do see a lot of ways to lighten my load. I saw a lot of changes i could make. Im in texas so it isn't cold very long. In a couple months I can just use the Costco down throw which will save me a lb. I noticed I only use half my pack space. I wish I would have went with a smaller pack> Im not able to fast pitch my tent because of the rain fly configuration. I would need to get some rips stop and make a few mods. I would like to drop 3lbs this year.
As for my body weight, that isnt an issue. Im 6'4 200lbs
