I'm guessing that you're joking a bit when you say 80 pounds, but there aren't too many scenarios that I can think of that my STOMP II FAK couldn't handle, and yet my pack weighs 37 pounds (49 pounds with all the IV fluids). I wasn't concerned with weight when I put it together as it isn't something that I plan to carry around on my back during a bugout (I have a smaller FAK for that).

My STOMP II FAK has a bunch of built-in redundancy and large quantities of consumables -- if I were trying to cut back on weight the first thing I'd do is trim back on the quantities, while maintaining the ability to treat all the various medical emergencies.
