I do need to lighten up in a couple areas. Bag, tent, and cook-kit needs a new investment.

I am pretty happy with everything else, but I am ALWAYS open to suggestions to lighten my load. I do prefer to cook with a canister stove ect...

If anything is missing, let me know.

This is only packed weight minus consummables

Pack-G4: 16.5
sleeping-20 degree down: 40
tarptent: 34
pad-prolite plus regular: 24
sit pad: 3
------------------
Dickies rain shell/modified: 10
alpine light down parka: 14.5
long john bottoms: 7
extra pair of socks: 3
fleece liner gloves: 1
fleece cap: 3
------------------
cook kit: 12
steripen/coffee filter: 5
100 oz canteen: 2
camp soap: 2
bandana: .5
------------------
First-aid: 4
map/compass: 4
phone/camera: 8
headphones: 1
headlamp: 3
knife: 3

Total-200.5 oz, 12.5 oz

I would like to get the sierra snivler, the zpacks hexamid, and a light ti pot. These 3 things should save me 2 pounds, cost 600$, and put my base weight under 10 pounds.

What does your cook kit currently consist of? Do you cook in groups or usually solo? Map & Compass seem heavy as does the phone/camera. I would cut the phone.
