what a fantastic list of gear,a lot of the stuff i also carry were you differ is mainly cloth's type and amount.in the next few week's im going to try out this packing list,if it works im still left with a problem the bike .my thorn sherpa is a great bike but it's way to heavy for light touring,i would be looking to trade maybe and getting much lighter road bike 700 wheel's,i do have a fantastic look kx light carbon bike but i dont think it would work somehow.
