This is a low-hanging fruit for weight reduction, boss.

A number of lighter packs derive their structural support from foam pads 
(< 16 oz), meaning you don't have to pay the weight of a thermarest, nor 
the weight of metal or plastic support in the pack.  I like Gossamer 
Gear's Mariposa for these reasons, though you could certainly find lighter.

Consider tents that use your hiking poles for support instead of 
requiring dedicated poles.  Again, one way to save weight is to make 
gear perform multiple roles.
