Well, I've been doing a lot of research, and I've managed to get my pack weight as low as possible (for my eyes). However, I'm reading people having their pack in the 10 pound range... I can't figure out how, unless I was a guy and totally bared down to back country essentials.
Another major difference is I can take this same gear list into the winter (except I may change out a few fear pieces and add like 1 thing, but it essentially is the same)
My current pack weight breakdown: (In pounds)
Not including clothing or other factors
TOTAL BASE: 16.78
TOTAL FOOD/WATER (25 days worth of food; 2 L water ): 36.40
Pack System: 5.25
Sleeping System: 3.25
Cooking System: .0025
Water System: .60
Electronics: 1.73
General Hiking Items: 1.49
Misc: 1.5
Hygiene: 3.3

Does this sound okay? I'm planning to stick to the trails as much as possible.
