nun- yes, my kit was for an overnight blitz. it was about 12 pounds. i didn't bring a sleeping bag. just an emergency bivy and a down vest. I planned it that way. I seriously doubt a 'credit card' tourer is going to be sleeping under a tarp in a bivy with a down vest for insulation and newspapers under their feet for warmth!!!

i have the "blitz kit". and a lightweight kit. and a trad touring kit. and a winter, in the snow touring kit. sometimes I'll bring an aluminum folding chair. Sometimes i'll bring skis -and looking forward to this springs' ski&bike tour!

i usually use a bigger tarp, a light sleeping bag (I still need that one pound down bag!) and its still right around 20 pounds or so of gear.

I was not 'comparing' your setup to my overnight blitz kit- I posted a picture of using a space blanket for sleeping in, for permanent juans benefit-

you asked for a gear list and I gave you an abbreviated one.
