>Ultralight died last year.
Feb 1, 2013 at 6:28 pm #1949849You know your pockets weigh something.
Feb 1, 2013 at 11:12 pm #1949923You buy your beverages based on the weight and usability of the container instead of the drink inside.
Feb 1, 2013 at 11:59 pm #1949932You will willingly wash your mouth out with horrible tasting soap to save 10 grams.
Yet you cursed your parents for doing this to you when you were a kid.Feb 2, 2013 at 1:05 am #1949940You can divide by 16 really really well.
Feb 2, 2013 at 4:10 am #1949956You know the weight of a Ziplok freezer bag in ounces and grams, but you can't be bothered to carry them.
Feb 2, 2013 at 4:11 am #1949957The only reason the OP was looking at contact lens cases was to carry Neosporin and Blistex in a lighter container…
Feb 2, 2013 at 8:48 am #1950010… Everything fits in a Golite Ion.
Feb 2, 2013 at 9:07 am #1950013Every piece of gear you take factors into your sleep system.

Feb 2, 2013 at 9:10 am #1950016I have a mental image of Ray cozying up to a Fosters can cook pot and a pair of crampons! :)

So Eric is an ultriter?
Dood.Feb 2, 2013 at 10:32 am #1950053capitalized letters weigh too much
Feb 2, 2013 at 11:43 am #1950075You type e-mails on your phone, even though it takes three times longer, because weight savings.
Feb 2, 2013 at 12:10 pm #1950086your new MYOG pack is made out of a freezer bag.
Feb 2, 2013 at 12:32 pm #1950090The packaging weighs more than the new gear that came in it.
Feb 2, 2013 at 5:36 pm #1950173You have acculumated over 100 lbs. of UL equipment.
('Fess up now, most of us are in that category already.)
Feb 3, 2013 at 12:21 pm #1950366You complain loudly about paying for content while you know you should be glad that your wallet is lighter…
;-)
Feb 3, 2013 at 12:37 pm #1950374…you sit at a computer thinking up witty commentary on the ridiculousness of your backpacking habits and compulsions.
Wait, does this count?
Feb 3, 2013 at 12:40 pm #1950377You know you're an ultralighter when the only thread you've bothered to read every post in is named "You know you're an ultralighter when…
Feb 3, 2013 at 12:45 pm #1950380Nah, they come to me and then I run over to the computer. You should see the songs I make up when I hike.
As you know I always stress the fact that I am NOT UL, just a guy that believes in backpacking light. (Hmm, where have I heard that before?) But my BIL and best friend Dave is a UL hiker and I have about a decade of observations to work with.
And I am staying nice! He he he…

Now yours cracked me up Clayton.
Yep, check, oh yeah I do that, yes. I don't get that one, must be Estrella.
Feb 3, 2013 at 12:53 pm #1950386I hope it was clear that I was lightheartedly poking fun at ULers, including myself! :D
Feb 3, 2013 at 1:07 pm #1950390I think most of us are comfortable with laughing at ourselves. Heck, we hike in kilts. (Which I am pretty sure makes my butt look big.)
Feb 3, 2013 at 1:08 pm #1950394You have pre-ordered the Girls Gone Wild, UL Quilts & Kilts special…
