I also wonder--why not indulge a little on a 3-day trip!

I've read a number of "superultralight" (under 5 lbs. base weight) gear lists (looking for ideas, most of which didn't work out for me), and I've noticed that they inevitably omit a camera, even though the authors have provided photos of their trips. I guess that when you're at that level, a lot more things are excluded from "base weight?" laugh
