    Everyone seems to have at least one non-ultralight luxury item. For some it is the sleeping pad, others it's a backpack that just fits really well. Just curious what luxury or non-ultralight stuff people are splurging on.

    101 Wild Turkey, and a 5.4 oz. 10 L. solar shower bag (multi-use: water carrier, washing dishes-hands-whole body, and for campfire security).

    I'm not an ultralighter by any means – but outside of my pack the heaviest item I have is an Exped Synmat 7 DLX that weighs around 39 oz. That is my must have – I don't care how great I feel on the trail – if I don't sleep good it wasn't worth it.

    Sleeping in a hammock over dwelling on the ground. Doubles my sleeping shelter weight, but I'm alright with that for a good night of sleep.

    Imagine the woman that has to buy an inflatable doll. On second thought, DON'T imagine that girl.

    Very packable — hardly takes up any pack space — and light too!

    OK Ben, so you went to bed, then came back and had a pic of an inflatable doll?

    OK boys…let's redirect back to the original question? :P
    Luxury item(s): Exped 7 down pad and french pressed coffee.
    Depending on length of trip, my libation of choice: Zinfandel with 85% dark chocolate or Tequila.
    Cheers!…no pun.
