Whats in the bag thread?

Ultralighter
Been raining all day and going a bit stir crazy, so thought that I would have a play with the Lighterpack website. Now I don't claim to be an ultralight guy, but I'm reasonably content with my 8kg baseweight, which is achieved on a tight budget.

Room for improvement (when finances allow) -
Exos Pro 55, X Mid1 (solid, of course) and a down bag.
And I may ditch that synthetic gilet pillow.

Added the few extra items that I would take in winter - thermal bag liner, hut slippers (I like to be toasty in my bag), thicker hat and gloves.

Thicker fleece, salopettes, gaiters I would most likely be wearing, so are not included.
I would also take microcrampons (~500g) if going high in full on winter conditions.

So going mental I've got a new bag and scored a good summer bag this is where I'm at now as a base weight.

No doubt forgot to add something

3.5kg base weight, so far need to finalise stuff yet, but this is the summer version

Just a few possible omissions spring to mind @cuprajake :

Other bags/waterproofing (I'm assuming you don't just tip everything into your pack as it is)
Waterproof shell (I'm assuming you take waterproofs and don't plan on wearing them permanently)
Some kind of navigational equipment
Water filter, plus a means of carrying more water than you can fit into your 1L (apparently weightless) platypus
Insulating clothing layer, at least a jacket/pullover (carried unless wearing)
Gloves
Hat(s)
Midge net
Wallet with cards/cash/keys etc
that ditty bag with repair stuff, spare cord, etc
Mobile phone (I salute you if you don't carry one, but most people do)
Power bank (ditto)

Also:

217g "poop/cleaning'?? - do tell!
80g 'fuel' - usual protocol is not to count fuel as baseweight, but to include just your fuel container
160g seems a lot for a (summer use) headlamp
and 114g seems a bit over the top for a pump
and 149g seems 149g too much for a radio (sorry)
