Prepping for a trip. I've been working this summer trying to get my lightweight load lighter, more into territory.

Got the GG fast kumo 36 to carry instead of my Osprey exos 58 & my Nemo dragonfly is out in favor of a Durston X-Mid 2p.

That & other optimizations has my minimum base weight at about 12 pounds, almost . I could do UL, but my safety setup is robust given my experience with mountain rescues, not to mention finding rotten mostly eaten dead bodies.

Day 7 recap:

Missed a day, don't remember where it went. Probably lost in the mountains.

This day was the first day we hit the actual north shore of the Westfjords. Fjords are the best and worst in tailwind.

Also fell in love, again, with the person in the store telling us "Hey guys, there's free coffee" in Swedish.

Bike's doing alright. Ass hurts. Todo: change saddle when I get home.

Time for sleep.

Ich habe einen ganz tollen erworben, der mir allerdings zu lang ist. Ich würde ihn gern zum gleichen Preis weitergeben. Es ist ein -Klassiker, nämlich der Exos 38 von 2018, also mit Taschen auf dem Hüftgurt.

Er hat keine Gebrauchsspuren, alles ist da und intakt. Ich vermute, dass er auch vom Vorbesitzer kaum benutzt wurde.

Size Guide beachten! Dieser Rucksack hat Größe L. ospreyeurope.com/gb_en/osprey-

84€ + Abholung in oder zzgl Porto.

I think my most controversial opinion is you shouldn't you should

Yes you should be prepared to carry a lot of weight for long distances, but if you have good cardio/running/long distance hiking training and do any amount of lifting. You'll be fine.

Build your bug out kit ultralight with a decently heavy duty pack and you'll have no problems.

SHTF is honestly unlikely, but permanent back and knee damage from prepping is VERY likely.

I don’t play the light as possible game, it just happens by default by aiming to run what’s runnable.

If I really wanted to cut weight, I’d skip the inflatable matt & pillow, fill sack, bivy, down balaclava, wind layers, half the calories, and power pack. None are needed for a spontaneous overnighter, it’s just nice to have so much spare weight that there’s no reason not to pamper myself.

Scrambled around freestyle off trail all night, bivied for a few hours in the morning. Heading for an easy summit now, all clear no snow.

I confess to having become somewhat obsessed with these tents, and I’m super-curious to know if anyone has any experience with them. Does the inflatable frame confer any advantage whatsoever, or is it just there to look cool? As an hiker I can’t imagine this being worth the significant weight penalty, but I’m willing to concede there might be benefits I haven’t considered. en.heimplanet.com/products/fis

@eversion As a dedicated hiker, I even take exception to their premise! They must be filthy bushcrafters.

Oh no, someone is selling a tent second hand, a tent I wanted to have for a very long time.

So now the big question is which tent to bring for my hike through the Scottish mountains?
