I got most of my philosophy from this guy:
Ultralight bicycle touring
He's way more extreme than I will ever be, but I like his basic ideas: weigh everything!
The gear list for my first tour is here:

As you can see I started cooking a bit and I also got a bigger tent. The weight went from 20# to 30# but I was planning to be gone for months and simply needed more stuff.
