Actually, many people have already attained 6.x lbs .  I did last 
summer, and I carried a pad, down blanket, and a bivy.  Dropping all 
three of those, I could have gotten way under 4 lbs.  ...but there is 
no way I could do that.  Maybe there are some "once nazi's" that can 
live without sleeping gear, but not me.  I did hear that the 
infamous "wolf" only carries a bivy bag (no pad, not sleeping bag).

Technology improves every season.  For example, the Patagonia 
DragonFly rain jacket is only 3 oz!!  That has to be half as light as 
any other rain jacket before it.

peace!
dude
