>>2797018>Don't use a inflatable mat for sleepingDon’t be retarded buy an inflatable they’re infinitely lighter and top notch ones will cost you $120 and are genuinely comfortable
>UL or lightweight travelOp is slightly right, but at a minimum I’d reccomend 3 pairs of underwear (Hanes spandex briefs are goated for hiking), 3 pairs of wool socks(need to be wool can’t get away with cotton), one pair of hiking boots(synthetic is best for summer, leather is great for three season I really like danners), one pair of ultralight sandals (I use xero shoes barefoot sandals work great for camp shoes) 3 tops (lightweight base layer made of polyester is fine, a button up trail shirt so you don’t look like a bum, and finally a sun hoodie for the summer so you don’t die) 2 pants anything that’s not cotton or jeans - I rock fjalraven but there’s cheaper options (check amazon- I bought a pair of ripstop rain proof pants for $20) finally you need your warmth/ weather layers. A fleece, puffer, or wool hoodie for the middle, a large rain and wind resistant outer layer. This is the bare minimum you need for the type of trip your planning. Before some faggot says that’s too many clothes you’re bound to get wet, dirty, and possibly shit yourself. The redundancy guarantees you’ll always have something clean/warm to sleep in. If you’re the type of guy who needs it longjohns are good for an additional thermal layer or for sleeping. I find sleeping in the middle layer if not soiled does just as good.
>Heavy miles a dayLiterally impossible to do 30-40 miles a day with a camping load. That alone shows no understanding of backpacking. 10 miles is more than appropriate and won’t leave you fucking trashed at the end of the day. If you’re not some larping faggot longevity is the name of the game.
