Wish I could join everybody but I'll be working.
FWIW I took a look at XTREKKER's packing list and here's my 2 cents worth for a weekend hike. (I realize some of this will cost money)
That pack is heavy. I use a ULA Circuit pack that weighs 40 oz. That's a huge weight savings right there.
For a weekend, I'd ditch the wood stove and just use the alcohol burner + maybe a campfire. You might need to increase your alcohol a bit.
I love those GI lensatic compasses, but you won't need that for this hike. I'd take a lightweight baseplate type compass instead. My baseplate compass weighs 1 oz.
Maybe ditch the gerber saw? Or see if someone else is bringing one? Or just drag wood into the fire - it's been done before, LOL.
Take already sharped knives / tools and ditch the sharpener for a weekend.
You could probably ditch your sunglasses. Maybe call the Forest service - I don't think there is going to be much snow on the mountains right now. It's been fairly warm here.
Hope you guys have a great time and I'll be hoping to see some pics / vids / when it's over
