This is a thought exercise. I don’t have an actual trip planned (yet) to use this on. Just looking for ideas on where the additional weight savings opportunities are, within the bounds of safety/reason. The only things that I’ve so-far identified would be swapping the Uberlite Short to a GG thinlite pad (length reduced) if I were willing to sleep uncomfortably, or possibly MYOG’ing my own quilt, but it’s hard to estimate if that would save weight or not.

Location/temp range/specific trip description: 3-season setup, lower temp limit 35 degrees (unless some of the optional items tagged are included.) Location: Places where water is abundant, animal pressure is low, and have full/reliable cell coverage. 2 days between resupply, and max trip length 4 days. So, like, many portions of the Appalachian Trail.

Goal Baseweight (BPW): As low as is safe and reasonable.

Budget: High.

I’m looking to: Identify opportunities and solutions for additional weight savings.

Non-negotiable Items: Patagonia Capilene Daily Cool sun shirt. I love that thing. I’ve tried the OR Echo and don’t like it. And I absolutely love the OR sunhat. And I absolutely HATE the Rovy Avon flashlight. I tried it. Twice. The button on it pissed me off so much that I intentionally left it at a shelter on the AT. Other than that, none. I’m even open to MYOG.

Solo or with another person?: Solo
