The article is titled Go Farther, Faster With These Ultralight Essentials … I always get suspicious when I see the word Essentials
But some of the suggestions I can definitely live with:
- Golite Shangri-la 3 … the little brother of the Shangri-la 4+ that housed 5 of our scouts at Philmont in 2010
- 22 gram Baladeo knife
- size small RidgeRest Solite pad …. not for this old neoair addict but at 9 oz and an r-value of 2.8 it has a legitimate place in a UL kit
- last but not least, a frameless Granite Gear Virga pack … great bang for the buck and weight for anyone who doesn't have all low volume gear
