Alteknacker was wondering how I kept the weight down to 9kg (that includes a tent) and it's all in a Deuter 26L pack. I reckon I could get below 8kg with a new pack (the Deuter is heavy at 1.6kg) and there scope for a bit of weight savings elsewhere as well. This is basically a minimum overnight setup though - no change of clothes, need a water source to top up for breakfast - but I did have half a dozen brunch bars so could have gone a fair way the next day.

Basically tent stands in the bag and the sleeping bag fits across what's left of the bottom (v.tight). Then jackets and the pan. Most of the smaller stuff goes in the lid pockets and side pockets.
