I know it seems very heavy but I like to winter camp also which means I need a full length pad and a warm (heavy) sleeping bag. I like to go for long periods of time making a canister stove a neccesity. I also generally go with at least one other person making the large trap a neccesity.This also eliminates the use of my supercat stove. I love making fires esspecially in case my stove breaks and on a rainy day you must have a knife that can chop and batton to get dry wood. This exact senario happened to me on my last trip and may have left me slightly paranoid. If I had a lighter sleeping bag (18oz) that would save me 30oz, A smaller tarp saves me 5oz maybe 6oz, and the stove with equivilent fuel saves me 6oz. Less warm clothes (if I hiked in a warmer place) saves me 10 oz. A shorter pad saves me 6 oz. No large knife saves me 7 oz. Overall its over a 5 pound difference, making me fall just behind the 10 lb mark. I think this is the most comfortable, quality, and practical set up there is for backpacking. Its not insane like how some people use a minisquel tarp as a sweaty poncho and use no toilet paper, But it certainly is not exesive. Every item I have is quality, funcional,durable, and defenintly worth its weight. None the less ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
