I'm mostly making this thread because I'm excited about having a fully loaded weekend pack that weighs less than 25 pounds at the trailhead. I'll outline what's in it, but I can't post all the weights because I'm heading for the trail soon and because I don't have a scale.

I think that's it. I can add weights and see if I missed any items when I get back on Sunday. While it won't help on this trip, let me know if you spot anything that I can remove or swap for lighter gear.
I would probably be able to cut 2 pounds if I wasn't carry wet weather gear, but then again I'd usually carry more water.
