Northeast US leading to AT 2022 - First Shakedown

Shakedown

Location/temp range/specific trip description: I'm section hiking the NET this year as practice for a thru attempt of the AT next year (most likely an early March start). I also spend a fair amount of time in the Catskills and hope to hike the Knobstone trail this summer. Temps from single digits up to 90+ with all types of weather in between.

Goal Baseweight (BPW): No specific number. I'm more concerned with simplicity and efficiency than a number on a scale.

Budget: Around $500 over the next year to fine tune, including rain gear/puffy

Non-negotiable Items: I'm pretty set on my pack and quilt. I like the ability to switch hipbelts and carry heavier load and the large quilt is great as an active side sleeper.

Solo or with another person?: Solo

Additional Information: I'm working on getting my "worn weight" lowered before I purchase too much clothing, but am definitely looking for suggestions to layers to look into going forward. Yellow started items I don't currently have, whether they're delayed in the mail or I haven't ordered yet. Red starred items I am looking to drop or switch out - the green star right below shows the alternative I'm looking into along with differences in weights.
