Starred items are things I do not currently own, and are examples of what I might want. I generally am not attached to any of them; they're just starting points for discussion. Unstarred items are things I own and don't currently feel a strong need to replace. Weights for owned items were done myself and generally include stuff sacks or packaging. Weights for unowned items are manufacturer estimates.
