I carry a Thermarest Uno chair for my back.
And a stainless steel pot with a deep/tall lid, cause I don't want cancer from aluminum pots and I don't wanna burn my food in a titanium pot.
Without those, I would be in the ultralight territory. But I'm happy as is.
Not getting ANY fatigue from the weight I carry is fucking amazing.
Granted with age you wont be able to carry as much as you do in your 20s. Lowering the load has been a natural process for me over the last 5 years. I used to bring a 120L chevalier backpack for my 3+ days outings for 10 years.
Now I use a 55L Bergans pack in the winter months and a 35L Haglöfs the rest of the year. And sometimes a 25L during the mid summer weeks.
