Description
This is a two person setup. I primarily hike with my wife, and one of us will carry the shelter while the other will carry our food (minus personal snacks). I'll carry whichever is heavier for that trip (hence why you might see the shelter listed as "qty 0"). This is my cheat code for getting deep into ultralight territory, otherwise I'm just Ultralight Lite™.
Yellow-starred items are situational gear dependent on trip conditions and goals, therefore the listed quantity for these items changes throughout the year.
Forewarning: Fanny's listed as worn weight. This will be met with much huffing, a shaking of heads, and general consternation, but I feel there's some merit to thinking of base weight as what's burdening your shoulders and back and that alone. Ultimately, I wish there was a way to differentiate between weight carried in your pack and weight carried everywhere else.
