My people! Glad to see my namesake community. Kidding, I will post my lighterpack eventually but with wife my priorities have changed. Tried to show her the UL ways but she requires a number of backcountry comforts.

Hey! Already got some hikes in this season and more planned (Intermountain West USA). I also created the community !wilderness_backpacking@iusearchlinux.fyi if anyone wants to check it out.

Right now Iโ€™m working on my towel situation. Testing out various fabrics for a better, lighter, faster drying towel then my current microsuede one from a few years ago.

Ha, thatโ€™s funny. Statewise, Iโ€™m in a state thatโ€™s considered Intermountain West. Range-wise, according to that map, Iโ€™m in the Rockies. Tetons, Winds, Sawtoothsโ€ฆetc are where I typically go.

Hello! Not ultralight, but working my weight down a little at a time. Iโ€™m a petite person, so I donโ€™t really have much of a choice haha. I like to get ideas and tips from the ultralight community from time to time :)

Thanks! My last trip was near Baker Lake. My next one is going to be near Packwood! I just started backpacking last year, and Iโ€™m slowly getting out there.

WA state is beautiful, Iโ€™ve hiked through it on the PCT and would love to go back one day! How was Baker Lake?
