Need help with my gear! :)

I too am young and know of no other UL or SUL person my own age. (except my brother) Here is what I would do for my gear list.

Campmor 20 degree down sleeping bag – 36oz (get a down quilt! I know you might have to save for awhile(like I did) but it is worth it.

Neo air – 14 oz ( you are young get a closed cell foam pad!

Solo Marmot eos 1p – 44 oz ( get a tarp and some bug netting

Marmot eos 1p ground sheet – 6 oz (get a gossamer gear polycryo

Opsrey Talon 44 – 42 oz ( you can find a lot lighter packs

Outdoor research rain cover – 5.3oz ( use a pack liner

MSR quick Solo 1.3L pot – 7.6oz ( get a ti or beer can pot

MSR windpro stove – 6.8oz (use a alcohol or esbit stove

Aquamira – 3 oz ( repackage it into smaller bottles

That should save you some weight. Hope it helps.

I would think a tarp might be your cheapest weight reduction. A poncho/tarp combo will save you shelter weight and you can lose the rain jacket. An alcohol/esbit setup is cheap and really fun to make with a beer can pot. Window sealer is a cheap alternative to the GG polycro. At your age, a closed cell foam pad is probably enough and will save a little weight and be nice to sit on in camp; If its long enough, you can probably do without a groundsheet too. And try to shave a little bit off of everything; it adds up fast. And you could easily lose 1.5-2 pounds on a lighter pack.
