With luck, I'll be going out into the backcountry tomorrow.
Here is my gear list (sorry I have no scale for weights, but it's very light):

Clothing carried
Fleece balaclava
Fleece sleeves
Fleece gloves
Wool socks
Rain chaps
Patagonia down sweater

1/2 Z-rest
1/2 blue foam pad
Shelter
Gossamer Gear One
Polycro groundsheet
Cooking
A small aluminum pot with foil lid (cooking by fire)
Lexan spoon
Water
2 1-liter platypus
1 1-liter plastic bottle
16 oz Naked juice bottle
Aquamira
Personal items
Toothbrush/paste
floss/sewing needle
ibuprofen
matches
bandaids/tape/gauze/random pills
neosporin
stick-pic (for taking self-portraits)
bandana
Clothing worn/things carried
I'll decide tomorrow. Probably zip-off pants, long-sleeved baselayer, long-sleeved button-down shirt, light wool socks and trail runners.
Trekking poles (2)
tiny knife

Mosquito headnet (in case of flies)
Small digital camera
Wow! All that for just one night!
We'll be hiking about 15 miles over Saturday and Sunday through a section of the Condor Trail burned by fire last year. There may not be a trail. It might be difficult going. Hopefully I can get a new battery for my truck tonight and not wake up with a cold tomorrow. The Man has been sick since New Years and I keep wondering when I'm going to get it.
