I think that before you can answer the question, " What are the things that no adventurer can live without? " you have to answer the question, " What amount of things can the least able adventurer manage? " The reasonable lower limit is probably a halfling or gnome with a strength of 6, which would give the a carrying capacity of light 15, medium 30, and heavy 45. And keep in mind, with your pathetic strength, your career options are probably limited, so wearing medium or heavy armour and moving like a snail is probably not going to be a great tradeoff. And you are really going to need that hard metal shell if you are going to survive as a snail.
So, realistically, the question is, " What are the things no stick of a halfling can live without? " and it is probably going to have to come in at under 15 lbs.
