This makes sense to me. I enjoy doing a little cooking at the camp site, but if you've already budgeted time and money for someone else to make you two hot meals a day, then I'd lighten the load that much further and plan on carrying some food you don't have to cook.

But if you want cooking gear, I like my little trangia burner with a Clikstand base. I found a cheap GSI pot/pan combo that fits within the wind screen, and the GSI kettle works as well. But the Clikstand site also has lighter, pricier options.

My tent is a Hennessy Hammock. I don't know the weight, but I'm sure they give weights for all of their models. It's the lightest tent I'v ever had, but I know there are other, more lightweight options.
