Dave, a few months ago I went for a few hours walk in some mountains whilst on holiday with a very similar amount of gear in a large backpack.
It didn't take me long to realise an unfortunate truth - even the slightest increase in gradient makes a load like that much harder to bear. I had previously walked around on flat land for a few hours all loaded up without much of an issue. But as soon as I got onto the forest trail I struggled.
So the advice from this flat lander is to consider what sort of walking your going to be doing. I wouldn't be trying to take half that stuff up to a ridge line again!
There's also a lot of overlap in your lenses. Personally I would find myself only using my favourites anyway.
OK now to actually answer your question :p
I have a large crumpler bag and loaded it up with the following:
- K5 & grip with spare battery
- DA15, M20/4, DA35, A50/1.2, DA*60-250
- Pentax 67 with 55/4 and waist level finder + film
- CF tripod and small ball head
- small accessories
All that minus the tripod was about 12kg. Add the tripod and some water and snacks and it would be about 16kg - pretty close to your 36lbs.
