I want to build the best ul kit around and I need your help.
I want the kit to be sul and be able to pull off a winter trip with a little skill. I would like the fuel to be easily replenished. I will use this gear for long distance ul hikes and hitchhiking and more probably.
How I want your help
1. help find lighter equipment
2. help find multi use equipment
3. help find better equipment
4. help find flaws in kit (I have a feeling there will be quite a few)
5. ANYTHING else every thing helps

Some thoughts
• To not need a bivy I was thinking I could have a cuben jrb quilt made, but then I will need a ground cloth or not because my pad would be on the ground.
• I will put stuff under me on cold nights due to my thin pad
• Do I need 2 platypuses? (So light I might as well?)
• I have found that if im moving even in snow I can use shorts if it’s not horrible so my clothing may seem skimpy, but I think I can pull it off. Right?
• I have no t shirt because its either the long sleeve of nothing for me
• I would like to mention I have a VERY open mind so if you a have ideas throw it out there.
• Your opinion please
• Don’t suggest a coat the quilt doubles at that.
• Opinions on a tipi cuben tent/poncho?
