Funny thing happened to me on the way to housecleaning -- I turned on the computer and started reading some Trail Journals. What I ended up doing is looking at hikers' lists of gear. No one that I found was planning to use a silbivy.
What I did find was hikers carrying heavy packs, stoves, and other gear, but wearing shoes for lightweight backpacking. A heavy pack with a lightweight tent. Similar oxymoronic combinations.
My gear with guestimations of weight:
House/Bedroom
5x8 siltarp @ 6.5 ounces
silbivy @ 6.5 ounces
mylar blanket as ground cloth @ 1 ounce
Uber Micro sleeping pad @ 3 ounces
closed cell pad @ 10 ounces (for colder months)
MH Tallac short sleeping bag @ 36 ounces
coolmax (winter) liner @ 9 ounces
Kitchen
alcohol stove (Etowah Outfitters) @ 2.5 ounces
bottle for alcohol (empty) @ 2 ounces (full) @ 10 ounces

2 20 ounce bottled water bottles (full)
