8 Pound Base weight…sound good?

Without knowing where this is to be used, it is hard to say much that is constructive.

Five ounces is an awful lot for an Esbit stove. The two that I have are either a half-ounce or a quarter-ounce.

–B.G.–

Not many details in your list to provide constructive comments (i.e., anything small and last minute). Validation of your list should be as much about function as weight. A few things that come to mind that I do not see in your list but may be needed

Water treatment/filter
Cooking pot
Bivy for bugs? or at least a groundsheet
First Aid kit
Hygiene Kit

thanks for the suggestions. I really did simplify my list a little too much, so when I 'm actually loading my pack, I will post a refined, accurate list.
