I can go really light but it takes more research than what many do.
Example. I have a Kelty Cloud 6400. It is uncomfortable with a full meat load but it is the lightest pack of its type ever made. I once asked Kelty why they don't make them anymore and they told me that they would have to charge 2500.00 for them It weighs 2.1 lbs. It is fully dynema with dynama stitching. They cost about 900 dollars in the 1980s and 1990s.
I have a pair of Swarovski 10X25 CL Pockets. They can work to spot game. I also have a Vortex razor 11-33X50 with a slik 525cf tripod.
I have a harvest right and can make calorie loaded foods that taste better and have less sodium and msg than standards. Use Honey instead of powerbars. Electrolytes are good.
Alcohol stoves suck and don't work on the glacier. Better to just use soto odp with ignitor and titanium cup and large isobutane canister.
I have BA Flycreek UL 2 and its ok but not the best when it is raining. APex merino top, MH stretchdown jacket and then good windshirt for top and wind pants for bottoms.
I need to go to bed. Will add to this.
