Packing Lite

After fishing last week I realized that I've been packing extra gear that is just not needed.  So in an effort to relieve myself of a headache and backache I've decided to simplify and organize my pack as well as fly box.

Why carry a fly box full of flys that aren't used?

Why carry a fly box when i have one that is part of my pack?

Why carry two types of hook removal devises when one works fine?

Why carry all my spilt shot when i could just pack what i need for that day?
