So right now my kit with Fargo is 48 to 50 #s without food or water (including my backpack with empty bladder). That does include tools, tubes, cages, bike lube, 3 season clothes not worn, and a rain jacket. It also includes enough calories to get me 50 or so miles, and my Nuun tabs, GPS, phone, charger, 2 sets of batteries, 8 oz of fuels for the stove, etc. and my Dinotte on the bars and Fenix LD20 for my head.
I've worked to get it to 50, without getting any crazy new gear. The Tarptent Contrail took a pound out of my hammock setup. If I ditch my Big Agnes pad for a new Thermarest 3/4 I'd cut some more. And I guess I could start drilling out my brake levers, finding a carbon seat post, get carbon spacers for my stem, get cuben frame bags, a cuben contrail, and a Ti frame. But that a rabbit hole I don't want to go down.
And I need to go tubeless. That would cut some more, but that depends on which tires are mounted.
