I have 2 UL quilts (20° & 60°), insulated air mattress, inflatable pillow, and 5 lb BA tent. Several UL stove setups that use alcohol or Esbit, along with a jetboil. Everything I need for a week in the road weighs less than my empty Jesse Panniers. I really should sell them and go rackless. Probably GCAG. I do love the pannier racks for dragging the beast around though. The new Enduristan soft panniers look great but $$$$. My tent would be the next thing to upgrade. But it’s in such great shape and works so well that I can’t justify the expense.
The best way to drop weight and volume is to not bring it. Only the necessities. I could probably drop my cook kit for 90% of my trips. As it is now, I only use it for coffee.
