By definition, you can still bring a 24 pack of beers.

I’ve been honing my ultralight travel for decades, the less gear and the lighter it is the more whiskey i can carry .

[williambuchanan]

10 lbs sounds nice. I pack cheap, heavier gear and hope I return with stronger legs and core.

The whole purpose of thru hiking is to be able to enjoy your journey walking and your surroundings without worrying about your backpack weighing you down. camping is more for comfort and enjoying the moment at the campsite. Camping is with friends and family, thru hiking is a personal journey and adventure!

When I was barely 5'2", 100 pounds at 16 I carried 40-50 pounds daily on a 12 day backpacking trip. I can't believe its possible to carry everything for under 10 pounds. I can only imagine what other random gear I would bring if I had a spare 30 pounds, lol. This is awesome.

I love that you still bring a chair. Those things that just make the trip better are still worth it.

THANK YOU I’m in the military and we have you to wear rucksacks some with random stuff we don’t use this video has officially solved my back problems

[outandabout]

Best combo: use cheap heavy stuff until you go on a long hike. Imagine a multi-day trip where everything, including food, weighs the same as or less than the equipment for a regular one-nighter!

Good video. Now let's see the total cost!

[maureengreen]

Very helpful because working my way back into shape and less weight is so much more doable. I buy one item a quarter, spreading out the cost. Maybe in 3 years, I’ll be UL. Fun!

I exclusively hike with a 100 liter rucksack that weighs 8.5 pounds when empty just to spite ultralighters.

As we get older, a chair is a good way to allow your back to relax after a day of hiking, backpacking, and bending over.

ive heard that if you freeze your water, Then drill holes in it it’ll be lighter for when you backpack! 🙂

People need to remember not everything needs to be ultra light you can sill bring comfort

I think by most backpackers definition now days, ultralight means spending as much as you can on every single piece of kit.
My first backpacking trip i was inspired by bear grylls and man vs wild. I took a tarp, a water bottle, a knife, and a lighter and spent the weekend in the woods. I guarantee you it weighed less than 10 lbs and i had never even heard of the term ultralight.
Mayfly sandals are a perfect example. I made a pair out of an old election sign and some paracord. But on the trail they wouldnt look as cool because people would know i didnt spend the 50 bucks or whatever they cost.
I find it incredible that someone would spend 1000 usd on a tent.
You can also make gear feel ultralight by actually doing a little bit of training and getting stronger. Get use to carrying a 50 lb pack and 20 pounds feels like nothing.

[AdventuressAli]

What about a first aid kit or air mat repair? Or camera gear? Phone, charger, battery back up? Nadda??

[QuietWildernessFishing]

😆😆 this makes my 50lb pack sound like a joke... My back isn't laughing tho.

[EdwardHurst]

Why not take a pure wool jumper cashmere/ lambs wool instead of a fleece it’s much warmer and half the weight u can find them everywhere and it will biodegradable. Great video btw ed

To those thinking it's lazy to hike light, Note not everyone has the strenght to carry heavy for different reasons. Over time you'll want to go light for the sole reason of comfort. I've always carried heavy and pretty fit. But nowadays i enjoy my hikes more while hiking light simply because it's more fun and i have time to play around on the trail while hiking.
