Yours looks fine to me. I hate critisizing someone’s gear list, so rather than do that; I’ll post mine. That way, if you see something you like and might want to try, you can ask me. Or you can taunt me if you want…
Pack - 11.0oz
I use the Golite Breeze, with cut straps. Personally I find it comfy to approximately 25lbs. No monster load? No Monster Pack.
Kitchen - 3.0oz
MSR 0.7 litre pot with a homemade lid and a trimmed lexan spoon. I only use it once a day and heat water to re-hydrate in a separate package. This saves cleaning the pot. I dehydrate my own food use Mountain House Freeze Dried Food.
Stove - 1.0oz
Homemade Esbit design that I picked up on the trail last year. It works twice as fast as regular Esbit. Tabs weigh 0.5oz. I carry 1 per 2 days.
20* Down Quilt - 16oz
Homemade down quilt personally rated to 20*. Weighs less than a pound and stuffs into nothing.
Pad - 15oz
Ultralite Thermarest 3/4 length. No Expense Spared. A good night’s rest means a better day tomorrow. I use a chopped blue foam pad under my feet
Shelter - 20oz
Homemade tarp/bivy combo. I designed it durring my thru-hike. I haven’t actually made this one yet, but it is in the process. It should weight 20 oz and be able to be set up with 5 stakes in about 20 seconds. It is a bivy sac with the front half of an Integral Designs Sil Shelter sewn to the hoop.
Grooming/First Aid - 4oz
I have worked very hard at achieveing a good balance of safety and light weight. I carry multiple use items.
Extra Clothing - 22.5oz
In warm weather, I carry only a 7.5oz patagonia fleece. In cold weather, I carry a 10.5oz Patagonia Puffball Pullover and an 8oz EW Capilene Bottoms. I also carry a windstopper Balaclava and fleece gloves in the winter. Summer weight - 7.5oz, Winter - 22.5oz. I carry no extra socks. When I did, I never changed them anyhow. I change them every 400 miles.
Rain Suit - 14oz
Frog Toggs rain wear. Waterproof and breathable. It feels like paper and is not very durable. But duct tape works well in repairs. Like any ultra-lite gear, it must be cared for and not used abusively.
Water supplies - 6.6oz
MSR 4Litre Dromelite bag with hydration attachment. I use a Safe Water Anywhere in-line filter. It attaches to your drinking hose and filters as you drink. It weighs 3oz and last 100 (advertised) days. I’ve not actually put that to the test yet.
Misc - 2.5oz
2 photon micro-lights, and a waterproof bag that EVERTHING goes in. This works much better than a rain cover.
This is everything. Don’t think I left anything out. Total weight is 115.6oz - 7.25lbs in the winter, and 100.6oz - 6.25 oz in the summer. Add 0.25oz per day for fuel, 22oz per day in food, and 64oz of water (more than you ever need to carry on the AT), and for 7 days, you have a grand total of 11.40 lbs of disposables.
WINTER TOTAL WEIGHT FOR 7 DAYS & WATER: 18.65lbs
SUMMER TOTAL WEIGHT FOR 7 DAYS & WATER: 17.65lbs
I think that is rather comfy. And here is the stuff that I wear:
Patagonia SW Capinene T-shirt (4oz)
Patagonia Baggies Shorts (3oz)
Smartwool LW Hikers socks (3oz)
New Balance 803 Trail Runners (26oz)
Suunto Vector compass altimiter (2oz)
trekking poles (16oz)
