General 3 season regular use list for tempertures 0 to 30C as it doesn't get hotter than that here (30-86F). Plenty proper rain and wind.
I have not yet bought some of these items (marked by *) so weights are as stated online.
Pack - Osprey Hornet 32 - (586g/20oz)
Shelter - Rab eVent Bivi (496g/17oz)
Sleeping bag - Snugpak Travelpak Extreme -3 in stuff sack (1150g/49oz)
Sleeping mat (165g/6oz)
Waterproofs - Montane Minimus Jacket (200g/7oz)*
GPS/Compass/Maps (250g/9oz) Knife (135g/5oz) First Aid (160g/6oz) Soap/toothpaste/washing up/laundry (50g/2oz) Dish cloth (37g/1oz) Toothbrush (10g/.5oz) Spork (10g/.5oz)
Buff (36g/1oz) Socks (70g/2oz) Long sleeve shirt (95g/3oz) Underwear (72g/3oz)
1l Water bottle (23g/1oz) Trowl (54g/2oz) Petzl e+Lite (27g/1oz) 1.5l bottle (39g/1oz)
Pockets:
Zippo lighter (54g/2oz) Swiss army (60g/2oz) Keys (60g/2oz)
Worn:
Montane Terra Trouser/Pants (320g/11oz) * Montane Prism Insulated Jacket (420g/15oz) * Buff (36g/1oz) Baselayers (300g) Inov8 running boot (312g/11oz)
Generally wont be carrying this: Cooking
Evernew ECA-522 Titanium (116g/4oz) Pot cosy (42g/1oz) Stove - Pocket rocket (73g/5oz) + 100g Gas
The G to oz calculation is rounding to nearest oz final weight is an exact conversion.
Total: 3665g / 129.2oz / 8.07 lbs + pockets = 3839g / 135.4oz / 8.46 lbs + cooking (391 - probably inaccurate not weighed) = 4230g / 149.2oz / 9.32 lbs
Currently I'm about 2000g over this weight on jackets and trousers.
Happy to consider alternatives to anything, especially items not yet purchased. Montane seem pretty good on weight to performance but no actual experience of any of their gear. Many reviews read.
I'm considering buying either a neoair xtherm or xlite leaning toward the xtherm which would obviously add some weight but seems worth it for warmth (430g/15oz)
I don't really carry cooking equipment, eating raw ready made food or making a small fire where acceptable. I could cut down food weight by eating dehydrated stuff, for more than a few days away from civilisation I might do this. Most places I can easily replenish food every 3 days.
Notes: I don't have water purification added in as I haven't made up my mind. I have used the tablets before but don't like all the chemicals so was thinking of UV. The water here is generally safe. (Steripen is 103g/3.6oz)
If I buy a tarp it seems my weight will go up so much I may as well have a tent. If traveling with someone else I would take a tarp and split the weight. I can usually find some kind of natural shelter.
Synthetic sleeping bag is necessary after bad experiences with down. I realise this is by far my heaviest item.
