    I'm normally stuff a dry bag with clothes for a pillow. I'm tempted to get one of those reversible pillow/drybags for a little more comfort but I'm also lazy so haven't bothered yet.

    Echo platypus on the single sleep pad. We changed from two pads to a double Exped Ultra 3R and it's really nice - no cold spot in the middle.

    On the tent - it's pretty personal but we used a Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL2 which is closer to 1kg than 2kg. For winter we use a bigger Vango which has a vestibule for cooking and changing in that's more like 2kg.

    I don't own a Trangia. I want one but I'm not that bothered. I prefer a canister stove setup mostly because I'm not "cooking meals" I'm just heating water for packet food.

    I've heard ponchos are a bit better for hiking but that's out of my realm. I stick with waterproof jackets on the bike. I'm going to miss my RAB Flashpoint when it dies.

    I've never used map and compass in anger. Nor will I.
    Don't see any spare batteries listed for Garmin. Lithium are lighter.

    Depending on how often you're near civilisation and your speed you could use a smaller battery pack.

    What is the monocular for? Camera zoom innit :)
