Got the same problem. Some if it is from duplication - for example: 2 lighters, a firesteel and a brass matchcase. Some of it is from gear that weighs too much - a D cell flashlight for example.

I'm in the process of paring down my kits and replacing some heavy stuff with lighter stuff. The brass matchcase goes, the plastic one goes in.

I gotta remember, I know how to do without some stuff. DW not so much.
