I did a quick calculation on the gear I'm taking in a few weeks and including food, water basically everything.. I'm coming in at just under 12kg.. you are nearly double !

You need at least one dry bag for food and something for waste that can hang over a rafter in the hut. Your revised list looks good and will be down to 13kg once food and water are consumed. How are you going to secure your tent to the platforms? These were great: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4pcs-Tent-Aw ... 1c6eedd0ab and screw in hooks are good too.

What's a cuphook?

Why not just a framing hammer and a box of nails. You could nail your tent down!
