This setup is 7lbs base weight, but misses nothing on comfort.

Full rundown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-N-bt334iU

Tent - Well vented, can fit a 6'4" person and a 30in wide mattress; storm worthy pyramid shape that has decent walls for surprise snow.

Backpack - Metal framing and huge cushioning from the KS40 from KS Ultralight, at only 16oz. No need to get a 32oz backpack when all I'll ever carry is 27lbs.

Quilt (w/Down Balaclava) - Conservatively rated quilt, combined with a sleeping balaclava that covers everything but the mouth and nostrils.

Air Mattress - 20in wide is not enough for a mattress, this one is 25in so your elbows do not fall off and you can toss and turn as you would at home. I also have a backup 1/8in CCF pad that adds warmth.

Stove Set - At 3oz it's the lightest durable alcohol setup I have seen. Beer can pots break too easily.

Puffy Jacket - 3.3oz of insulation and hand pockets.

Extra sleep clothes and gloves.

- Wind Pant Enlightened Equipment Copperfield 10D - Breathability is 10 CFM. That's good, as legs don't get as hot as the torso. So when the temperature dips you want the weave to be tighter than upper body layers.

- Rain Bottom NONE - I don't use them out west. Storms out there tend to be intense and last for several minutes, so I wait them out. If rain set's in, then I will use the CCF as rain skirt to protect upper thigh and pelvis. It works!

- Shelter System Tarptent Aeon Li - It goes up quick, plenty of room, strut system makes it very stable in wind, good ventilation, small footprint, great door. Does allow for dead anchoring. Almost impossible to pack inside a UL pack with full food. Bad stuff sack. IMO it's better than the plexamid and worth the 5oz penalty over lighter options.

- Backpack KS Ultralight KS40 (2021 vers.) - Total weight is 15oz with Rockwest Composite carbon frame stays. I consider the KS40 the perfect pack when the max load is +/- 27lbs. I keep looking, but no bag has as much carrying ability for such low weight. A high level of cushion is available through the pad pockets.
