Hey everyone,
I am planning a multi-day trek soon and want to lighten my pack as much as possible. I have been reading up on ultralight gear but I am still unsure about a few things & want advice from experienced hikers here.
1. Backpacks – What is a solid ultralight pack that does not sacrifice too much comfort? I have seen some frameless ones but are they really worth it for longer hikes?
2. Sleeping System – I am torn between a lightweight quilt and a sleeping bag. Which one keeps you warm without adding unnecessary weight?
3. Cooking Setup – Is a DIY alcohol stove still the go-to for ultralight trekkers or are there better options now?
4. Rain Protection – Do you guys prefer ponchos or ultralight rain jackets?
I was searching for gear suggestion but I would rather hear real-world experiences from fellow trekkers. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you...:)
