Planned a 4-day hike with a friend. Before every #camping or #fastpacking adventure, I write a list of things I need and tick them off as I pack my bag.
Why haven’t I created a template list?! There’s always something I forget until the last minute...
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.
Back in fall I started looking for a new fastpack. I use a running vest for multi day stuff, but want split setups to specialize.
There’s nothing in the market that fits my needs so I follow experimental ultralight and fastpack custom makers.
Found a guy who’s design is between a run vest and a UL pack and we’ve been working together for 3 months taking my mod requests trying different materials.
I’ll share when it’s done.
