Here is my Basic gear list. Mainly after thoughts on what I should replace to maximize weight savings. Certain I have left out a few small items.

Pack: Vaude Civetta 32L 1300g (46oz)
Tent: Exped Vela 1 Extreme 1400g (49oz)
Pad: Thermarest Prolite 3 570g (20oz)
Bag: Fairydown Superlite 830g (29oz)

Rainwear
Jacket: Fairydown no model 630g (22oz)
Pants: ESS entrant Pants 590g (21oz)

Cookware
Primus Cooker 240g (8oz)
Primus Billy +Spork 400g (14oz)

Misc
Zebra Headlamp 63g (2oz)

Clothing:
Icebreaker 250 310g (11 oz)
and/or
Icebreaker 200 259g (9 oz)
and/or
Macpac Interwool 320g (11oz)

Columbia Paclite pants 288g (8oz)

Bridgedale Socks 112 (4oz)

edit: added clothing weight.

My thoughts

Pack: I find the pack nice and comfy, could be slightly larger I feel.

Tent: Not entirely pleased with the design, considering changing it.

Pad: I never used a sleeping pad once, but have gotten soft. Considering changing to a Exped DownMat which would increase total weight.

Rain Jacket… Thinking of replacing it with a Marmot Mica?

Rain Paints. I only take these when I expect to be walking through snow, so not a high priority item.

Cookware.
This small primus cooker was one of the first outdoor items I ever purchased. Never realized how heavy it was. Because it is small and compact never given it much thought.

The primus billy seems to be quite heavy.

Clothing.

I am amazed that the Icebreaker 250 and the Macpac Interwool are nearly the same weight, the Interwool appears to be much thicker.

I also normally include a light fleece which I can not find to weigh.
