Now that looks like a comfortable set of gear! I see the Osprey, what else did you go with?
I've been trying to downsize a bit - need to get a substitute of my 6.5# MR Frame pack, but swapped the 4.5# two man out for a hammock in the summer/ SL3 Tipi with woodstove for winter. Summer's a quilt, but still trying to figure out what I want to do with a winter bag. I'd like to hit a base weight in the 20's or less, without jumping into the freakishly light cuben crowd.

pack: Osprey Talon 44
sleeping bag: Kelty light year 40*
mattress: therm-a-rest neo air
tent: old 5lb North Face rock 22 (had my dog so needed the extra space)
cookware: I've got a homemade alcohol stove, and I use a grease pot from k-mart for cooking, and a plastic spoon for eating.
clothes: I brought one extra pair of socks and underwear, one extra shirt, rain gear, and my Marmot zues down jacket which also doubled as my pillow.
The rest of the pack consisted of my food, water filter, first aid/medicine kit, camera, osprey 3L water reservoir, a pocket knife, lighter, cigs, coleman outdoor wet wipes, and those cotton balls I mentioned.
My dog carried her own food and water bottle
