Sure, shaving ounces on every item will add up. But I like to prioritize the items where saving weight is the most important and where durability is more critical. One of my most used PSKs is a Maxpedition bottle holder with with my AMK PSP, Mora, paracord and a few other survival items. In this kit the bottle really is the only area I'm allowing for more weight. This is critical since I can boil in it, it won't rust and it's very, very sturdy.
