This list needs revisiting as I want to get rid of my front panniers and use a frame bag. This will force me to carry less but the more storage space you have the easier it is to carry stuff you really don't need for summer camping in Europe. "Stuff" equals "Weight". Bit like MHs really, the more storage space you have the more things you find to put in it.
