Help me lighten my pack weight

[u/dan_thewoodsman]

On my last 4 day trip my total weight was around 40lbs that’s with water and food included. I used this app to figure out my base weight was around 27lbs, which to me seems ridiculous. Like the title says, what can I swap out or get rid of entirely to get this weight down slightly? (The pack is non negotiable, as comfort is a priority for me on long days on the trail) thanks

Is this a lot or a little?

Its pretty light for dry pack weight.

Or pretty heavy for dry pack weight, depending on how you look at it.
