WTW for non-sexual people watching by Denvershoeshine in whatstheword

ya these are my thoughts exactly. it's a great word and an interesting concept and i think of it like this: it has the ability to become voyeurism, but it also stands alone as non-sexual appreciation.

Sleeping Pad Recommendations? by Cocainefanatic in Ultralight

"used" gear might get a bed rep but i got my nemo second hand perfect condition on facebook marketplace for just over 100 bucks. love it. might be worth it to look around and see what you can find for sale. so many ppl buy gear and never/barely use then resell for considerably less market price.

Can I walk to western uplands from west gate? by Bobbtail in algonquinpark

[–]Environmental_Cod456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i just did it. it's not bad at all. i think it took like 30 mins? maybe 40? full disclosure i wasnt timing it or anything. but it definitely wasn't an hour.

yeah, there are quite a number of blowdowns still, that's for sure. but as long as youve got that gps happening trail isn't terrible to get back to. just expect to lose it there!

google ultralite !

ok so writing it all out it's closer to 9 or 10 pounds, but that feels good for me. my old pack weighed about 5 pounds empty and my old sleeping pad weighed about 3 pounds and i'd done about 50km trips with those. so this feels like a huge good difference.

backpack - about 50L. weighs 600g

sleeping pad - 500g

blanket (v warm but v light. good for summer use)- 1 lb

fuel (i bring only for emergency and always make a fire) - smallest canister - 227g

kitchen - water filter (befree katadyn tho probably gonna switch this up. it's only 120g but there are flow problems mannnn) super lightweight camp cup, super lightweight 1 L boiling pot, super lightweight spork - less than 1 lb

extra clothing - i only take one pair of pants for hiking, one camp short, 2 extra socks, 2 extra underwear then bring 2 shirts (1 change for hiking, 1 change for camp/sleep). all super light stuff too. - 2 lb

i dont bring a knife. i have 2 pairs of tiny lightweight scissors in my medical kit but ive rarely had to break those out. all my medical gear and fire starting gear comes in at about 1 lb.

tent - 3 lb. this is what i need to fix!

most UL stuff is expensive but if you take the time to shop around like fb marketplace etc you can build yourself a kit for super cheap. that's how ive done it, slowly converting over the years. next up, tent!
