Thing 1: Free Parable Design T2 trailer.
I've only had the chance to test this guy for a day or two, but so far so good. Very light frame (wheel, fork, frame, 8 supports, skewer= 3.6 kg), with modular and easily replaceable components, lots of storage in the dry bag, and even a spare tube and tire. Not sure how an unsuspended frame will handle singletrack, but for most touring where panniers could be used, this may be a lighter and more adaptable choice. I think I even figured out how to mount skis to the head tube of the trailer.
Thing 2: Patagonia Nano Puff hoody (or something similar like the Brooks Range Cirro).
At under a pound, any light hoody with 60g primaloft one should be required when heading outside. Fits into a nalgene, still warm when wet, does double duty as a pillow. The Patagonia version has 4 zippered pockets if you ever need a good travel jacket for the plane, or just lots and lots of snacks.
