I don't think that "phase" is the right word. I'd instead say "learning process." I got down to an 8 pound BPW. But then I got old and- as just one example- sleeping on a 1/4" CC pad got annoying. So I have learned what I consider to be worth the weight. Another example: I love my pyramid tarps- they're a bit heavier but also more bomber than a flat tarp, less fiddly, and require less thought. So my BPW- stripped to the bones- is about 12 pounds now. Hell, I'm considering a McHale pack, now. I've been going on longer trips and the food weight is catching up to me, plus I like the idea of a pack to my persnickety specifications that will last the rest of my life and probably be in my will.

A 3C hiker remarking to others on the deck as other PCT hikers poured in from the south…."Oh, look how cute, he's still ultralight"…

"A 3C hiker remarking to others on the deck" Now-a-days that means a person is an expert an using an iPhone app. :D
