I am Just getting back into backpacking, when I was younger I did quite a bit of camping with scouts and the family, but that is a beast of a different nature.
Me and my girlfriend have accumulated some gear and are hoping to make 2 or 3 outings this year, including a 6-7 day trip through parts of the La Cloche Silhouette Trail.
The weights are in grams, and then (pounds, decimal)
MEC IBEX 80 Pack__ 3000__ (6.6)
MEC Tarn 3 Tent__ 1700__ (3.75)
Sleeping bag__ 1200__ (2.64)
Therma rest__ 1000__ (2.2)
GSI Dualist Pot Set__ 587__ (1.29)
MSR pocket rocket__ 85__ (0.187)
fuel canister__ 225__ (0.495)
leatherman wave__ 241__ (0.530)
Brunton lighter__ 45__ (0.099)
Head light__ 85__ (0.187)
Katadyn Vario Filter__ 425__ (0.935)
Total__ 8593__ (18.90)
Take a look at my list, and provide some feedback. Keep in mind the tent will be split between two people, so I split the weight in half. This list does not include any food or clothing as of yet, just some of the essentials that will be brought along most trips
