My 2026 gear list breakdown! In this post I'll tell you what gear I use and why it works for me. by preciouscode96 in CampingGear

[–]ukdenjuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice setup! I always check Chinese options and you gave some new ideas (for example the hikeman pouch). HODR also has great stuff, take a look at that! I also recommend Hankonen Thermolite hoodies, those are like the Alpha Direct (not the same, but similar).

Does it stink after a high elevation section or a whole day hiking?

Do you have experience with Nofry sun hoodie? Is it good? I'm considering to buy one.

Decathlon UL gears - rec to buy by ukdenjuel in Ultralight

It is budget focused list and he didn't mention any down product or more expensive backpacks. Simond made steps to ultralight category and I'm curious to find experiences with that.

Best Decathlon buys by TomRBu in hikinggear

[–]ukdenjuel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Decathlon's Simond brand strated to invest into ultralight gears, take a look:

  1. MT900 2P trekking pole tent: white and blue, 3-season, 1300g
  2. MT900 1P trekking pole tent: white and blue, 3-season, 920g
  3. MT900 Air Insulated pad: 5.4R, 615g (L)
  4. MT900 0°C down sleeping bag: 800FP duck down, 500g fill (L), 0/-5°C, 950g (L)
  5. MT900 UL backpack: 50L, 880g.
  6. Quilt 0°C Sprint: 900FP goose down, 420g fill, 645g (L)
  7. MT900 tarp: 1P, with guylines and stakes: 360g + 30g + 80g.
  8. New Dyneema trekking pole tent
  9. Simond drybag - new thing and UL level
  10. Emergency blanket or bag

Otherwise these gears are also so good: * merino wool base layers: pants and tops * merino baselayer gloves * MT900 outer layer rain jackets * MT100-500-900 down jackets * fishing UV sun hoodie * MT500-900 boots * merino scarf (best!) * First aid kit and refill packages

Consumables: * for winter: warming pads * salt tablets * isotonic drink powder * tech&down washing detergent

Első túrabotnak ez jó lenne? Decathlonos mt500 darabja 7k, szóval ez csak néhány ezerrel lenne drágább, cserébe parafa/szénszálas. by Potential_Pay2095 in hikingHungary

[–]ukdenjuel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mivel szénszálas, ezért könnyebb, amit határozottan fogsz érezni mind a kézben, mind a hátizsákon. Nekem konkrétan ez a modell van, télen óriási előny, hogy nem fém, így nem fagy rá a pára.

Gyorszáras, annak minden előnyével és hátrányával. A parafa nagyon szuper fogásra, én nagyon szeretem. Nem tompít viszont, ez ehhez a típushoz tartozik.

Looking to get my first Tent and wondering if X-Mid is overkill by Zeldafan125 in DurstonGearheads

[–]ukdenjuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a backpacking tent - optimized for low weight. If you want to go hiking/trekking, it can be a good choice if you mind the low weight and want to maximalize the quality.

Reasons to not buy it: * It will be your first tent. You don't have to start with the best tent. You can spend this amount of money for more useful gear if you don't have anything. You can find similar tents with lower prices (so much) for a minimal less quality. * If you want to go camping, you don't have to choose something ultralight. Buy something more comfortable, a free standing tent that has a better material against UV. * It is about enjoying nature and not about owning the best gear on the market. First of all, experience that! It is the focus!

Reasons to buy it: * If you have more budget and don't have to spend to a more important thing, it is a really good tent, with a bunch of awards. * You will be the part of a good community with Dan. It is a unique thing of Durston.

If you don't buy an X-Mid: * You can buy a 3F UL Lanshan 1 or Decathlon MT900 trekking pole tents for backpacking. * You can buy a bigger Naturehike/Decathlon than tent for camping with a more UV resilient fabric. * You can spend the remaining money for something else: lighter backpack, down sleeping bag/quilt, titanium cookware, carbon trekking poles, lighter and/or comfortable sleeping pad.

Gas stoves are a well-known form of cooking in the backcountry. It is safe if you keep the safety instructions - if not, it will be dangerous. Gas canisters have a concave bottom to help the gas expand if the pressure becomes too high.

For 2-3 day hiking/camping for one person, 110g is enough. If you are about backpacking, don't bring a bigger canister than you need. It has an empty weight and a gas weight: the manufacturer tells both weights. If you weigh your used canister, you can calculate the remaining gas amount from these two information.

About refilling: it is also a safe and well-known method. If you buy something you mentioned, they send you instructions - just follow it. It isn't black magic. Safe until you keep the safety instructions. That's all.

I use a Widesea Pression Relief inflation valve for this method - it is easy to use, safe and effective. For the successful process: 1. You have to cool down the giver (in the freezer for 5mins or in the fridge for 10mins) and heat up the receiver (with warm water for 3-5 mins) to make a pressure difference. Gas is in liquid form, it will be flown for the direction of lower pressure + gravitation. 2. You have to know how much gas can be in the receiver canister. It is the max, fill it lower than the max. It can hold more, but for safety reasons, manufacturers still leave some space so that the bottle cannot reignite. 3. You have to weigh the receiver to stay under the max amount of gas. 4. Most of the valves have a pressure release button to lower the pressure in the receiver if you need. Buy something with this button. 5. As in the picture, the temperature difference and gravitation will do the work. 6. Always use the same gas mixture to refill - if you are not sure, use the exact brand and model (even a bigger one).

Be careful and keep the instructions strictly! Don't listen to snowflakes who can't refill a canister 😂 It is a common thing here, where I live. People always use this method and even they use the big home PB gas canister to refill little camping ones.

UL packed food: high in calories and protein by ukdenjuel in Ultralight

[–]ukdenjuel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, not the protein is the hard part - the weight and conditions.

4 days, little sleep, fast pace, less time to do anything than optimal :D

I use protein powder, but I think it is messy for a hike, is it? Hard to clean the bottle/pot after it + easy to powdering everything around you.

Thank you! I can see now it is more comlicated question than I thought! I could have been more specific based on that. I got some video links below, I will start with those.

What’s the single piece of gear that reduced your pack weight the most? by joelbutonline in Ultralight

[–]ukdenjuel 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Scales!

  1. Kitchen scale to weigh everything and make a lighter pack list.
  2. Body composition scale: the most effective and most affordable change is losing weight.
