FWIW, the list I posted is one in a range of lists that I have used. The weight range was 15-45 pounds. I don't think any of them were bad lists. That said when I went lighter and lighter I was surprised by the fact that I really didn't miss any of the stuff that was dropped.

Will I go heavier again? Maybe. Will I go as high as 45 pounds again? Never say never, but probably not unless the trip involved some other activity that required lots of gear.
