People in my office are looking at me funny.  I fell off my chair because I 
was laughing so hard.

My pack, tent and bag weigh about 16+ pounds.

Now - the tent I can improve.  Mom bought the walrus when we thought we'd be 
sharing it.  So soon I will be in the market for a one person tent.  The 
sleeping bag I want weighs about 2lbs 10 ozs or something.  But I can't do 
anything about the pack - because I will NEVER carry a different one for any 
length of time.  I love my pack.

So - conceivably I can get down to 10 or 11 pounds . . . But EIGHT?   :)  
Well - goals are a good thing to have, right?  Someday my pack will weigh a 
lot less - most likely when I start making more money <g>.  In the meantime - 
every couple of ounces I CAN save . . . well, by golly . . .which effectively 
rules out the titanium pot for now, huh? - regardless of its relative merits 
- or lack thereof  - it's still way too expensive for me.
