JIM how much does your kit weight now?

Thanks JIM,
Bryan

I couldn't believe my eyes when I weight it: roughly 7kg/15 Lbs (without food and water;exept 1 liter emergency water)!
That's like the lightest kit I own exept PSK and EDC!!

I'dd better put a brick in the bottom to prevent it beeing blown away!

But seriously: I now have enough spare room in my backpack for food and clothing and narrowed the kit down, wich was my original goal.
Thank you all for your suggestions.(pics will follow)

...7 kg's for a daypack, without food and water, eh. Well don't tell that to ultralite backpackers, they will faith...

Looks good.

And the reason for choosing the Opinel over the Mora is that it is a little smaller (still thinking cubes, not humps, right? :P ), and I just like the way they feel compared to the Mora's that I've handled.

Bryan:

I'd really appreciate it if you'd elaborate a little on your kit. What are the container pouches? How are the strung together? Can you list the items in text?

Looks like something I'd like to swipe!

Looks great, just get a storm whistle and a better signal mirror.
