#ultralight

Swedish Ultralight hiking group plans a Sarek tour. Everyone has to bring an InReach emergency device. But then almost everyone will bring an X-Mid as their tent, which is considered ok. Guess because they don’t carry the extra weight of the PLB for nothing!

I can't quite believe how little this BRS 3000T backpacking stove weighs. Just 26 grams (0.9 ounces)! Generally excellent reviews too although not for simmering. If you just want boiling water it's seems pretty good. For only 20€ this is incredible value. Will be giving it some outdoor tests soon.

Kolem tohoto (a dalších dvou kousků) jsme chodili na #InstallFest. Není to jen na ozdobu, ono to fakt létá!

Nothing‘s more boring than these ultralight dudes(!) who try to impress with their sub 7lbs base weight, that‘s basically just a standard collection of the most expensive gear on the market. Don‘t buy the hype!

Migrated (most of) my old data from #instagram over to my pixelfed account at https://pixelfed.de/PositivDenken. You‘d make me very happy if you‘d follow me there (too) and maybe even leave some likes!

My favorite #backpacking stove setup. It‘s an alcohol stove with a wick and a windscreen from tinfoil that also serves as a pot holder.

Everything packs down nicely and fits inside my pot. Weight’s below 20g without the pot and less than 100g including the pot (but no fuel). I also have a 1g Esbit tray to go with it as an alternative stove.

Endlich Zeit gefunden und meinen Tourbericht vom #IkkeKungsleden 2022 fertig geschrieben.

I finished a trip report, it’s in German, sorry, but the pictures are universal. Go check them out nonetheless!

Just learned that #Huckepacks is closing down by the end of this year. They are the makers of my favorite backpack ever. Sad news. But I wish them all the best, they have good reasons to focus on something else in their life.

#Fediverse outdoor people, I have a challenge. Find me a double-walled mug with a lid that comes in under 90g (3.17oz).

I currently have the classic MSR double walled mug and that is 100g. So I need to beat that weight by 10g, but still have the insulation properties.

I'm not quite a UL person, but I am trying to shave about 1kg off my base weight for some trips next year. I have been looking into two areas:

Backpack: I have looked into a specific UL pack. This will require me to change away from a hydration bladder, so I have been experimenting with different bottles and and a hydration pipe. There is potential to cut up to 700g here.

Sleep system: I want to go for a warmer quilt, but I do not want to carry more than by current system. I have been looking at the Ugq Bandit Quilt, but that will add 90-160g more. Will need to change the liner away from the Sts Reactor liner to maybe some silk liner. I have a Pertex liner from years ago, which weighs 100g less than the Reactor. I can probably cut 90g more. That should even it out.

| am still 300g short of my 1000g target though.

Gibt es hier im #fediverse eine deutschsprachige #hiking #wandern #thruhiking #wanderlust community wenn um die themen gear und #ultralight aber definitiv nicht prepper oder militär equipment geht? Also ich suche Austausch zu Gear wie zB das ganze #Hyperlite oder #zpacks Zeugs aber eben in DE/EU verfügbar ohne die wierdos ;) gerne #fedihelp und reposts, danke!

I guess the item highest up on my bucket list is to one day (train for) and fly an #ultralight.

The last couple of weeks lead me back to more remote trails up north in Sápmí. Brought a couple of friends and we had an amazing time, despite the weather not always being in our favor. Had to change plans a couple of times. Luckily we were not amongst those who had to be rescued by SAR from Sarek, which would have been our original goal.

Why is it that gatekeeping is so prevalent in the outdoor but especially the ultralight community? #ultralight #hiking #outdoors

Inflatable or just CCF, that’s the question!

3kg baseweight, baby! #ultralight #ultralightWeeny #pyrenees #hrp #HighRoutePyrenees

This comment by Matt Shafter is quite hilarious. Basically it boils down to “don’t use your crazy expensive tent or at least make sure to not expose it to any harsh conditions unless you want to ruin it”.

What’s the point of having a tent in the first place then? Sounds more like dead weight to me.

Understand that a lot of ultralight backpacking advice is based on survivor bias. #ultralight #ultralightBackpacking #ultralightTrekking
