I think if you just take a "less is more" approach to your defender you will yield better results. People tend to seek innovative ways of loading their defender rather than innovative ways of taking less stuff with them.
I see people with huge water tanks and stuff strapped to their rig. A good potential saving is replacing a certain amount of hard shell water holdings (jerry cans or tanks) with a means of water purification, and keeping a collapsible water bag for the few stretches where you may need to carry a lot more.
Just food for thought.
