Hi!

I wanted to get back to hiking but didn't want to invest a whole lot of money in case I get bored (as I have a tendency of doing). Therefore I tried to buy cheap. Aside from that you need to know that I'm 193cm (6'4") so some cheap things don't fit me which has effected this list. Also; I live in Sweden, so buying from r/ultralight's usual suspects isn't as easy, and/or very expensive. Everything on this list are things I have bought and examined, but I haven't had the opportunity to try any of it in real conditions yet. Here is mostly everything in 2 pictures, some things in the list are not in the picture and vice versa:

I have also bought some regular hiking clothes, but I haven't weighed those, and that is much more personal, so not as interesting. Enjoy!

P.S: The prices here reflect what I paid for the product, not what they cost now. For example I bought most of the Chinese stuff on 11/11 which saved me some cash.
