TIL my tent weighs exactly 3.2 pounds less after I ditched the factory stakes

Weighed my whole setup before a trip to Shenandoah last month and swapping those heavy steel stakes for aluminum ones cut over 3 pounds. Anyone else ever weigh their gear piece by piece and get surprised?

Is every ounce really worth it when comfort matters just as much on a long trip?
