>>1693218>Honestly anon what do you have against light gear?Price.
Quality.
Idiot tax.
Reliability.
Resistance.
This is the trek I did last November, like every November:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Beskid_TrailAnd pic related is (more or less) my backpack, since it's the same model. "Inherited" it from my father (he's alive, hence the quotation mark).
The only people that go UL in my country are unprepared, untrained, unconditioned and uncoordinated, but RICH idiots that then the mountain rescue has to haul back to safety, because with all that super-duper gear they are carrying and which is virtually weightless, they've forgot to take their brain. Too heavy, I guess.
I just really dislike UL faggots, more than UL itself. They are the peak of people that shouldn't be going out at all.
And like the other anon you've also replied to pointed out, it's mostly a community build on buying accessories and bragging about them.
