My last sierra trip in mid sept my pack was about 65lbs, but I did go for 4 days!!. When solo you will have some weight as no one to share the stove,cook kit,fuel,water filter,tent,first aid kit with. Then of course I need the tripod, bigger mpeg camera,camp chair,fishing gear-bait,spin,and fly of course, a big fry pan to cook the fish,couple nice bottles of Chardonnay, and a flask of Apple schnaps and quality vodka for green apple tini's.While it might be a little rougher getting there, it is SOOOOOOO nice for those days in camp!!

But hence I agree, check weight of each item and shave off some with a lighter bag and tent.Every pound does make a difference. Then the "heavy" is only comforts you bear the burden of to enjoy whilst in that camp chair!!
