Hello! Not ultralight, but working my weight down a little at a time. I’m a petite person, so I don’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 I’m slowly getting out there.
WA state is beautiful, I’ve hiked through it on the PCT and would love to go back one day! How was Baker Lake?
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 I’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.
hello and welcome! the best map I’ve seen so far of the Intermountain West was from Peakbagger, which range do you call home?
hey there. good to see this community on the fediverse. I guess the best introduction for a ul’er is sharing their lp. this is me: https://lighterpack.com/r/smbf7q
collegiate loop in early sept, winds in august and a short few weekend trips in the indian peaks and maroon bells. what about you?
oh man i’m jealous. i’m doing the Uinta Highline first week of sept 🤞what’s maroon bells like?
haha what’s up? have a trip coming up in later this summer. i think i saw Lemmy mentioned on reddit first, how’d you find this?
Hi, moving over from Reddit. I’m not ultralight by far (base weight is 17 lbs) but I’m always looking for fun hikes and ways to shave a few lbs/oz/grams off my gear.
