Yeah, my tent this year is cuz mine was 10 years old, and I really didn't enjoy the rain while he was dry. I was the first one to bring a speaker. We're still weak on the cooking gear cuz cast iron plus the Coleman stove is heavy, but I also have a fold down firepit which is steel,that is heavy, but turned out to be a game changer of getting a fire going when it's raining so it's worth it to me.

We’ve gotten consistently lighter, thankfully. Little $5 rocket stoves on Amazon (smaller than a bar of soap) are a God send.
A long float is definitely on the list, in the coming years.
I think we are spoiled with the canoes VS hiking trips. Most of the trip is spent napping and drinking with the occasional paddle.
