10x10 tarp....2 pounds.
2 quart aluminum pot. .5 pound
various fire starting means. Lighters
etc.. .5 pound

Knife and maybe a folding saw. 2 pounds.
Good sleeping bag. ..3 to 4 pounds. That's 8 to 9 pounds out of your 11 pound limit. I guess bring some fishing line and tackle to try and eat fish. Not much else you can do.

I hope your pic was not supposed to show that, because it is not lightweight or reliable at all.

Water: plastic bottles and purification pills.
Weight: close to nothing

Food: learn your edible, know if here is game you can catch and bring rice and pastas. With spices.
Weight: 400g per day if you ration yourself
Fire: two bics and it's all. Just gather wood of the right size and cut it with your foot.
weight: close to nothing

Food preparation: one pot. A light one. And a fork.
weight: close to nothing

Sleep: a sleeping bag that fit the weather and a 3 or 4p tent.
weight: 1 or 1,5kg per person

Why 2? OP never said that he wanted to cook gourmet food.

>various fire starting means.
Why various? OP never said that he's retarded.

>Good sleeping bag. ..3 to 4 pounds.
Why a 4 pounds sleeping bag? OP never said that he wanted to camp in North Pole.

Not sure what the laws are up there, but you could try getting some fishing yo-yos. If that's a no go you could set up some trot lines then set them up once you get there. You can go about 6-8 days without food before some shit starts going down. Your definitely going to get some hunger headaches so if you're allowed get some aspirin and ibuprofen.

I was assuming op did not want to spend real money on anything. In that case, yes, a 50f bag is going to be anywhere from 3 to 4 pounds. If that's too much then sub a blanket large enough for a adult and just wear your pants. 50f..or 10c is quite chilly after a 20c day.

Axe/large knife
Large canvas for leanto
Sleeping bag
Cooking pot
Fishing rod

5 days will be easy with those if you are a good fisherman.

>good fishing lake
Good. Learn2trapfish, it's a good way to not have to fuck around a lake all day (if that's not your kind of thing)
If you get sick to death from all the fish, take a small rat trap, b8 and w8.
a steel canteen or steel waterbottle (any metal will do, but steel sounds nice). A ferro rod will do you fine. A good knife.

Sleeping bag is optional if 10 at night (I like to sleep cold). If you want to look like a hard-core /out/ist, make a shelter with longfire.

As for skills, learn to make a shelter, learn about wild flowers, make some nettle tea and shit.

That's fucking roasting you barely need anything for sleeping.
Sleeping under the stars in just a raincoat is comfy down to like 5C

You don't even need to be good if you're at a good place.

Cane poles are a thing after all

Even if the lake is clean and you can drink from it, you should still definitely bring one of these:

Buy a Sawyer. Lifestraws filter incredibly slow in comparison and don't accomodate hydration bladders. I have both. The only thing I use the straw for over the Sawyer is drinking out of puddles and other really small deposits.
