I wanted to alert folks to a website /hiker worth note in the UL/SUL hiking community.
Francis Tapon has hiked the AT and PCT in SUL/UL Style. He is currently almost half way through the first CDT Yo-Yo attempt.
I beleive he may be the first LD Thru-Hiker to exclusivly use a Cuben Fiber small solo sized tarp.
Considering it's the CDT in pretty cold temps that's amazing.
You can read his trip reports at:

From his home page, click the CDT left navbar link and then scroll to the bottom for the individual report links.
His CDT gear list is the lightest (published) list I've ever seen for a Thru Hiker that has made* it… And it's the CDT!
*(He has almost made the thru hike one way by now and has the Yo Yo return trip ahead.)
