I reduced my gear to an ultralight gear Loadout 6 1/2 Pounds. This is my ultralight gear loadout that I will be using on my next backpacking trip to see if I like the really low base weight and still be comfortable.

I think for summer camping I'm going to try super ultra light! Both my Nemo Tensor insulated and Switchback are the short versions so I will still take at least one of them. Instead of a quilt I'll use a Kelty Bestie blanket. Most of the time I have found being only 5'4" is quite useful. I can get away with small pads and blankets without sacrificing comfort

Going lighter is better. Good tips. My son and I did the Old Loggers Path (PA) this past (hot) weekend. I think my total weight with food, water, fuel and an old 65 liter Osprey 'stratolounger' super padded backpack was around 18 pounds. And my son's total pack weight was around 14 pounds. Finally ordered a lighter pack and looking forward to moving the base weight down, significantly.

Maybe if I was younger I wouldn’t mind so much. And so far I don’t feel I have given up any comforts. However, the 1/8” sleeping pad may not work for me but we will see.

Bryce Dunlap Thanks! I had eye surgery in mid July so I haven’t been out but plan on taking this load out this week or next week so I’ll have a video out soon. The biggest thing I’ve done to reduce weight, even before this load out, was to remove stuff. I used to take multiple changes of clothes, multiple knives, a flashlight in addition to my head lamp. Things like that. That made the biggest impact. Then it was a matter of replacing stuff with lighter stuff. That’s where it can get expensive. This load out won’t be my main load out in the coming month or so. The temp around here will be dropping so I will have to take more layers of clothes, warmer quilts, etc. so this load out will be for only like july to mid September around where I hike.

6 to 7 pounds is very comfortable on your back. Yes , you can enjoy the hike and the camping. I have one of the early Zpacks Nero's and have yet to fill it all the way up so every inch is filled with something. As you unloaded yours I saw a lot of the items I take. My camping is sectional and on the average of 3 to 5 days ( Monday to Friday ). That Cat Food ( Fancy Feast ) stove is a universal stove that has been used all around this world by different folks. Out of all the alcohol stoves I have collected my favorite is the Evernew Appalachian set at less the 6 oz. One luxury for me is a hot meal at evening and hot beverage in the morning.

+Chuck Littleton I had my pack loosely packed because I couldn’t fill it. With the neros if you don’t have something up to around where the shoulder straps connect it carries weird and makes a lose noise. I can’t describe it more than that. Lol. If this loadout works for me I am going to look for a smaller pack. I kind of got past having a hot meal at night in the warmer months but not the coffee in the morning. So I think the lighter alcohol stove will work for me. It is different in winter though. I do less miles and I always have a hot meal at night and in the morning. Most of the time I am cooking real food over the fire. I have the msr whisper light stove I sometimes take in the winter.

@@backpackingadventures4813 The old fashion trick of using a sleeping pad or a UN-inflated mattress as the inside frame for a frame less pack still works. The Gossamer Gear ( full length 1/8 inch ) thin-light foam pads works pretty good. Plus I like it in my hammock for insulation. I've even been known to use a self inflating Therm-a-Rest sit pad as the outside frame ( against my back ) in place of the foam pad Zpacks furnishes with the pack. With the therm-a-rest sit pad you can adjust the thickness ( rigidity ) by the amount of air you let in or out of it. I like to have everything with me have more then one use , if it's possible.

Man, thats an awsome setup! Weight by side, I'm loving the simplicity wile hiking with a lite set up like this so much. Just less to worry about. Only thing i still can't convince myself to do is the mat. I can't even sleep well with a inflatable mat and am worried about not sleeping at all with a thin mat. Would be interested about your experience. Greetings from Germany, subed ;)

Thanks and welcome! I agree. Simple is better. Now that pad is another story. I used it for a few nights and while I got through the night it wasn’t ideal. Tossing and turning a lot which isn’t good for recovery if you are hiking high miles. Now I’m a fat guy and not that young any more so I’m sure that has something to do with it. It really didn’t work for me but that is just me. I still take the gossamer pad to use as a sit pad, to take a nap on at lunch and a backup pad but I’ll stick with my thermarest in the future. That still leaves my base weight for this setup and about 7.5 pounds (3.4kg) so still pretty light and if I go with my hammock set up it’s about 8.5 to 9 pounds (3.85kg - 4.08kg) so still light as well. But again the simplicity is where it shines and to me my setup (with the thermarest) is very comfortable to me.

Packs-a-lot It is much easier to go further but at the expense of some comforts at camp. My guess is that the biggest issue I will have will be with the mattress, or lack thereof. I think that’s where I’d draw the line. The biggest reduction was with leaving out clothes. Nothing to risk safety but as the weather gets cooler they will all be added back in so I think this light load out will, for me, be limited to about an 8 week period. Around July and August only. But it will be fun to test it all out.

Looks good to me. If you want to add some comfort and 8oz, maybe use the thermatest uberlight? To be fair it is not my favorite sterling pad or my go to for that matter, but when I want/need to save weight it’s worth it for the regular pad. I’d probably like the regular wide at an added weight of 4oz I think. I have fibromyalgia so my balance between weight and comfort is very important. Enjoy!!

+Unlikely Hiker Thanks! I thought about the uberlite but I would need to get the large, which is 12 oz. I need the large so my arms don’t fall off because I am horizontally enhanced. My normal one is the xlite regular/wide which is only 3oz more at 15 oz. They only make the uberlite in large which is way longer than I need. Maybe if they made it in regular/wide it would probably be around 10-ish oz which would make it more worth it. BUT I have been watching videos on how to cut your thermarest down to a smaller size but so far I’m to afraid to try it.

Here’s another idea you can use for a 20” pad. Take a piece of clothing, say your puffy, roll it up, put a couple of rubber bands around it and put it next to the sleeping pad to support your elbows so they don’t “fall” off the side while sleeping.

Interesting video, enjoyed watching it, showing just how light you can get. I think you've got your bases covered, as long as it's going to be warm enough weather. Like you say, the sleeping pad might be the thing you regret. You didn't include the weight of your mobile phone in your weight, which is another 8oz/225g plus the weight of any protective case, so more like 7lb then. Are you not taking a spare baselayer in your carried clothing (in addition to the spare socks)? Depending on where you're hiking, some form of backup paper mapping might be required. To shave a few grams, decant a lump of your BodyGlide into a smaller container/bag (it applies easily with your fingers). To save rather more grams, you could probably combine some of the contents of all those chi-chi DCF bags into fewer bags. To lose more grams still, be brave and ditch the power pack. Go in airplane mode, limit your usage, and it's amazing how long a full charge will last. If you plan on a lot of filming/photography though, it might not be an option. For 3-season UK hiking I'm now at around 13-14lbs which is hardly ultralight, but it's less than half what I used to be!! 3-4 days food and fuel increase that to around 20lbs. Not too bad. I've plans to reduce baseweight by perhaps 2lb-3lb, but that'll be as far as I can take it. Should also mention that 300g of my kit is fishing gear.

I really don’t have one base weight as my gear fluctuates throughout the year. I backpack in all seasons so I’m the dead of winter I am at about 12 - 15 pounds with my extra clothes and heavier warmer quilts. I also usually cook so I bring a saw, maybe an axe to process wood. Then it get lighter as the warmer weather approaches. The 6 1/2 pound base weight is really only for maybe two months out of the year. My usual comfort warm weather base weight is around 8-ish pounds but that is with my tent. If I take my hammock setup it is much more. Nope. Not taking a spare base layer with this load out. I do have wind pants for some warmth on my legs however. But where I hike at this time of year it is very warm. But if I was going north on a trip my load out would be very different. My packed clothes are based on the weather. As the weather cools in September I’ll start adding clothes and heavier quilts which will take me back to my winter load out and so on. I don’t do videos listing my 3 season load out like other channels because my gear literally will change with each trip based on weather, whether I’m going with friends to hang out or if I want to crush miles and go really light. This load out was just to see how light I could go. Basically at this time of year I would use my thermarest air mattress instead which would put me to close to 8 pounds. The power bank is a must unfortunately, because of my InReach (emergency transponder) and since all my electronics are rechargeable including my camera gear I need the juice. As far as the body glide, I pretty much need it all. I used a time on my last trip. But I do have a chaps tic container that I put sunblock in but I use that I. The beginning of the spring when there is no canopy to provide shade. So to sum it up this was an experiment for my self but my base weight changes all the time based on each trip.

How about sunglasses, sun block, hat? I find that it's all the little bits that i stick in the outside pockets that add up for me. I weigh it all, and then right before I go, I check the weight, and I'm always a few pounds heavier than I figured...How comfortable is the ultra light pack? My pack is 2 pounds with a lightweight plastic frame. I couldn't imagine a pack without a frame. I wish I had more of a frame on mine. I have just got back Into backpacking after about 12 years or so since my last time helping the scouts. I've been updating my gear. I dont think I can go any lighter. I'm at. 15 pounds not including food or water. So total for 4 days food and 2 liters of water is around 23 to 25 pounds. Still way better than the 35 to 45 pounds I carried in the white mountains 25 years ago.

Sun glasses and sun block I take sometimes. Around where I usually hike I find no need for sun block because I am under a canopy 99% of the time. I haven’t needed it yet this year. I do wear a hat and forgot to mention it in this video because I was wearing it. I did mention it in my last. However I wear it the entire time so I count it as worn weight. Cold weather is different though. I have another warmer hat always ready to go. Sometimes my pack is heavier than I expect but that is usually food. I have all my gear weighed and on a list so as long as I do t miss or add anything the weight of gear is pretty right on. Honestly, I don’t notice any different with my frameless as opposed to my framed packs. I do t even wear a hip belt. When I do it is for my fanny pack and is separate from my pack and provides no support. It is more comfortable for me to not have a hip belt. 15 pounds is awesome and lighter than most. You can get even lighter over time. And 23-25 fully loaded is still light. Light enough to me for a frameless pack. But some packs lose their comfort at about 20 pounds. The packs by Hill Top Packs have a comfort rating of 25-30 and say if you are going heavier you should use a hip belt on it. I ordered one and can’t wait to get it. The Nero I show in the video wouldn’t work for a 15 pound base weight. I had this pack just over 20 pounds total and it wasn’t completely comfortable. I used it on my west rim trail trip. I did have my frameless pack from LiteAF at 27 pounds on my Susquehannock Trail (10 lbs of food!). Mad it was just beyond comfortable for that weight but after eating some food it was good. Winter time for some trips I do use a framed pack with a full hip belt if I’m taking my hot tent set up. That tent and stove weighs almost 10 pounds as is! But for spring into winter my weight really drops and a framed pack is usually too much of a pack for me.

Yeah cold camping gear dosent follow the ultra light rules... I tend to really put most of the weight of my pack on my hip belt. I dont like the weight on my shoulders. I seem to get worn out quicker. I have 4 internal frame packs, and none of them are my favorites. The granite gear crown 60 and 38 are the best and lightest of them all, but I have a external frame pack that I bought 15 years ago that I stripped down to under 4 pounds. It is the best pack I've ever owned. Beefy belt and straps and Carrys weight so well. It is the most comfortable pack, and I keep going back to it. I did an overnight with my crown 38 recently and it's nice for 20 pounds. The 60 with 25 or more isnt. For a long hike I like the x frame.... Its embarrassing though. if u run into other hikers, you get some funny looks... I guess if I can get my weight down more, my other packs would be fine.

You know I have had that forever, show it all the time and use it all the time but I don’t think I ever said where I got it so good question 👍. It is the bottom part of a water bottle. I used one of the flimsy 16 ounce water bottles. I just cut the bottom portion off. I did mine a little above halfway but you can cut it wherever works for you. Then I kind of fold up the bottom and smash it down. Weighs virtually nothing and packs flat. Works very well to scoop water from a low water source. I always have it on my trips. I hope that answers your questions.

Nope. Love it. The stove worked well and I use it from time to time. Late last year I switched from that to the pocket rocket deluxe because the flame was wider, quieter and it had a built on igniter. I switched to alcohol mainly to try something different and to experience a different side of cooking while backpacking. It is also much lighter than my stove set up even with the Brs. But if I was going to do another long distance hike I most likely will take the brs over alcohol because of fuel weight and over the pocket rocket just because of weight. A full canister weighs 3.5 oz empty and about 7.5 oz full. If I use alcohol for several days it is lighter. If I go longer than the brs setup is lighter. But this is my fist go around with an alcohol stove so we will see.

I don’t use a bear can. I use a food bag, that I hang at night, which I put just inside my main body of my pack on the top.

But if someone needed one and it wouldn’t fit inside, this pack has a top strap just for a bear can.

Stopped watching after the 1/8 sleeping pad. If it's warm enough to sleep on that you might as well bring nothing with you and cuddle up under a tree on a pile of leaves and be ok for the night. Your loadout is basically a bag of accessories to give you some comfort over 24-36h. Not a true sustainable life support system.
