July trip finalised.

I have replaced my old tent this morning with a Wilderness Equipment Second Arrow, 1.86 kg

Cool! (Not that I'm jealous or anything.)

Just realised you'll have 3 stoves and at least 3 canisters between 3 of you. Can you ditch one of the stoves, especially as 2 of you will generally be cooking together? You'll still have one available in case of stove failure - eat in shifts if necessary.

+1 for real toilet paper - but I guess it's a personal thing!

The list makes demonstrates just how much lighter things like sleeping bags and tents have become. Unfortunately weight savings on either are not cheap.

Just endorsing a couple of suggestions:

1/ You've done it
2/ Ditch the plate and eat out of the pot.
3/ Ditch the deodorant.
4/ DONT substitue flimsy tissues for toilet paper. You seem to have allowed for one roll, and that would last me for 8 days. One area where running out is no fun, despite the thread about substitutes.
5/ You've done it
6/ I don't bother with any of those electronics, although perhaps the I-Phone could be handy.
7/ No waterproof shell mitts ?
8/ No PLB, or is someone else carrying one (One in the group should suffice)
9/ I have no experience with the Jetboil, but as a solo walker, my 800mil pot and top of the canister stove have a combined weight of well under 200grams.
10/ You've done it
11/ Clothes list looks pretty heavy, but personally, I wouldn't want to be cold. You are the best one to decide, but it may be worth reviewing the clothes.
12/ You've done it

Stry,
The tissues that I have previously suggested are individually wrapped 9/10 4 ply sheets at least 21x21cm, so big enough to tear in half to have two wipes per sheet
My main reason for promoting this is that I have encountered many walkers who have experienced the "dreaded TP exipired" when carrying the toilet roll that wet out when they shat in the woods in the rain

Ooh yeah !! Soggy toilet roll

Never happened to me, but as you may have gathered, I'm rather (unusually?) obsessive about this aspect of my comfort.

Not fun!! I avoid that by having the 'currently in use' loo paper in a zip lock bag, and the rest of it stays dryly in a freezer bag in my pack.
