Well it would seem that time was the real enemy. My DW kaiboshed my work by insisting I clear off the kitchen table so now my gear is in a couple of bins...good thing I weighed almost everything first.

Tonight I'm going to take the advice some of you gave me when I started a thread about first aid kits. I'm going to ditch the Pelican case and go to a MEC first aid bag. It's larger, lighter, water resistant, and has hide away straps so it can be worn as a fanny pack. Should lighten things up a little while giving me room to grow the kit in the future (the Pelican case is jammed tight!). I tested while I was at the MEC and it will fit nicely insice a #2 Outdoor Research drybag so if I ever need full waterproofiness, I'm good to go with a small additional investment.
