OP, carry a lap top? Are you working? My "notebook" is 5x7 spiral bound and works with a pen. I too carry a smart phone for some back up maps and stuff. Gear list? My Karate Monkey this summer was 72 lbs. That was with full water + food for 4 days. Eat more, lighter bike. Really try to pare down the carry list.
