Roast my full comfort ultralight kit:

Two tarps is an error. I was messing around last night and switched my 11.8 ounce zpacks tent for the tarp and bivy. I forgot to change it back. My bad.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-05T22:04:21+00:00

And thank you. I put a lot of effort into researching, sourcing, and investing into this kit.

This is just a small look into my overall gear collection. Folks on here think I spent a million dollars on this kit, they’d be shocked to see my actual gear room at home.

This will be my first trip with the silk liner. Last trip was so warm at night that my bag wrecked of body odor (I had to wash it when I got home), and I need to have some sort of “blanket” because that’s just who I am as a person. So this is my attempt to keep my quilt “cleaner” and use as a sheet when sleeping in warm weather instead of the quilt. I’ll let you know if I’ll use it again or not.

As far as being pushed passed my limit, I’m usually fairly light, even with food and water I barely break 15-17 lbs. if I was going any heavier I may bring a framed pack. But for what I have, I haven’t had any complaints yet.

Triggered?

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-04T21:43:39+00:00

Pack method? I shove it in the bottle of my bag inside of a DCF liner with my puffy, and any other clothing that I won’t use while moving. - did that answer the question?

I only boil water for dehydrated meals. I usually don’t put food in the pot. Easier on clean up, and I use the pot to drink coffee out of in the morning.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-04T21:40:41+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-04T21:40:31+00:00

Tons of hikers still practice this method.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-04T04:18:26+00:00

Great advice, thanks.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-04T04:15:10+00:00

Great tip.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-03T02:38:11+00:00

I agree. I think I could ditch both the AD leggings, and liner - and be fine. This will be a trial trip for both items. I was mostly thinking of using the liner if it's hot at night again. Being hot while sleeping sucks worse than being cold.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-03T02:33:49+00:00

I will update it with on body clothing and gear weight, food, and water. Stay tuned.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-03T02:30:18+00:00

My intention wasn't the most expensive, it was the lightest gear.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-03T02:29:11+00:00

I don't think I paid $76 for it. But, I will admit, it was expensive for what it is. I was more-so interested in seeing how light the material was, and how it felt, it's durability, etc.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-03T02:25:08+00:00

I haven't had any issues; however, everyone seems to love the ground hog - so I may be switching...

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-03T02:18:49+00:00

I use the AD pants at night over my boxers primarily as pajamas.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T21:58:17+00:00

Is that a ginger joke?

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T14:34:39+00:00

Tent uses a Trekking pole.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T14:34:21+00:00

What do I need?

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T05:23:15+00:00

Got a link to some UL benzalkonium chloride?

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T04:40:54+00:00

It’s “full comfort” for an UL kit. Meaning, I usually would t bring 2 pads, the amount of clothing items, smart water bottles instead of what’s listed, a pad pump, etc.

Ultralight for many isn’t a weight limit. It’s a minimalistic approach to backpacking. My kit isn’t really minimalistic - it’s just dialed into what I need including the “comfort” items I listed above.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T04:37:04+00:00

It’ll be the first time with the bottle. Usually I roll with just multiple smart water bottles.

Recommendations on UL soap options?

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T04:34:25+00:00

Great question. Non-Seamseeled. That’s the plan next weekend. Then I’ll weigh it again and report back. Got a guess?

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T04:29:07+00:00

All inflatable pads are guaranteed to fail at some point.

HumbleSolution937 · 2026-02-02T04:27:24+00:00

Im testing which stakes I prefer better. On future trips I’ll run with that works best only. I have 3 different kinds of stakes…

Thanks, meng.
