Here are the essentials, Platypus Big Zip 3L not shown. Total weight including the rucksack and the flecktarn poncho is 7.1 Kg (15.6 lbs).
Not sure if that's a light base weight or not but then again I don't think I could really lose anything to make it lighter either except maybe the poncho @ 800g. Maybe swap the tent out for a tarp and bivi bag?
