I agree for short trips—I carry just a Jetboil, a mug, spoon and knife, and then packet soup, oatcakes and instant coffee with dried milk and sweetners. Oh, and white pepper and chilli flakes.
But for a 15 month trip, your cold food and nuts suggestion might be a challenge.

I don't disagree on weights, my 4-season two-man tent is 1.93kg and with footprint, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, minimal cooking stuff and food as above, it's probably realistically 6kg.
