I've been working on a spreadsheet on Google Docs recently, I borrowed the format from Chad Poindexter of SticksBlog.com, entering each item of kit along with their weights and then categorising them in to the right pack areas. I find it's a good way of getting the weight down on your pack and helps to lose those unnecessary items, having the numbers there in front of you in black and white helps you work on certain areas, ultimately getting that base weight down.
Here's how to create your own Kit List quickly, once you've copied it you're welcome to edit categories to whatever you like.
The current list I have is for a 3 day gentle hiking trip to the Lake District, I packed for 3 season
