Here is my gear list since I have shed 20 pounds of needless weight I was carrying around. This forum and the Lightweight backpacking book have changed me for the better.A few of the items I still need to buy.

Mike - Your list is sort of unclear for any kind of review. Try to organize it by catagory. And separate the BASE WEIGHT from the PACK WEIGHT and CONSUMABLES.

Questions:

1. Are these weights in grams?

2. Three days where? What's the weather? Where are you planning to go? Solo or with a partner?

3. Are the consumables mixed in with the pack-weight data (like oil?)? And, the clothing worn should be a separate total?

4. Questions and feedback about the items below..



ti fry pan 120 - Fry Pan for a 3 day trip??? No need. Nix it.

spatula 22 - No fry pan, no spatula. Nix it.

salt/pepper 21 - Pre spice all your food - Nix it.

water pills 19

sm bic 10

matches 14

oil 63 - for what? Is this a consumable, for eating?

jungle juice 66 - is this bug repellant?

BA chair 177 - A chair? Remember, this is a specilized LIGHTWEIGHT website...

fox socks/ 3pair 2 pair 174 - How may pair? For 3 days, 2 pair is plenty, one for hiking, one for sleeping.

UA briefs/2pair 2 pair 160 - Two pair? One is perfectly fine.

pillow 212 - 212 grams for a pillow? BPL sells a 28 gm inflatable. Or, just use your platypus.

Platypus water bottles 61 - Bottle or bottles? A 2 liter platy is all you need unless you are in death valley.

towels 72 - What are these for?

petzel 70 - Is this a head lamp?

I have made some changes to the list. This will be used on the JMT between Yosemite and Mammoth. Fly fishing gear will also be added. I will use the bear can as a chair, either my Garcia or I will buy a lighter one.
