Hi dude <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Its been my observation that weight can be lessened by two methods, buying lighter gear, or taking less stuff. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Little of my stuff is UL, but I generally BP with 16 -23 pounds of "traditional" gear. My tent is 3.25 lbs the pack is 29 ounces. UL to me means flimsy.
The concept that UL is better and people would embrace it if exposed to it is flawed.
