Hi, moving over from Reddit. I'm not ultralight by far (base weight is 17 lbs) but I'm always looking for fun hikes and ways to shave a few lbs/oz/grams off my gear.
Hello! Not ultralight, but working my weight down a little at a time. Iโm a petite person, so I donโt really have much of a choice haha. I like to get ideas and tips from the ultralight community from time to time :)
Thanks! My last trip was near Baker Lake. My next one is going to be near Packwood! I just started backpacking last year, and Iโm slowly getting out there.
hey there. good to see this community on the fediverse. I guess the best introduction for a ul'er is sharing their lp. this is me: https://lighterpack.com/r/smbf7q
Hey! Already got some hikes in this season and more planned (Intermountain West USA). I also created the community [email protected] if anyone wants to check it out.
Right now I'm working on my towel situation. Testing out various fabrics for a better, lighter, faster drying towel then my current microsuede one from a few years ago.
Ha, that's funny. Statewise, I'm in a state that's considered Intermountain West. Range-wise, according to that map, I'm in the Rockies. Tetons, Winds, Sawtooths...etc are where I typically go.
My people! Glad to see my namesake community. Kidding, I will post my lighterpack eventually but with wife my priorities have changed. Tried to show her the UL ways but she requires a number of backcountry comforts.
wow great name ๐ with that name it feels like you really should have a lighterpack locked and loaded ๐ i too am working on a kit for trips with my partner, i've been thinking an MLD Duomid might be in our future (i like a tarp for solo trips)
