>>2805267>I don't understand the ultralight fadIt's for people who don't understand basic physics and believe that having 5kg straight on your shoulders is better for your back than having 10kg on your hips. Once you start using a lightweight, frameless pack, the first mucles to fail are those in your back, you start hunching over towards the end of the hike (assuming you're going near your limits) and get backpain the next day. So then you start trying to reduce your weight, but it doesn't remove the problem, so you reduce your weight further, and eventually you try to eat soup with picrel.
>my full frame pack was around 110lbsThat sounds a bit extreme, though. I'm using mostly milsurp (carinthia def 4, alice packs etc) and cheap stainless steel cookgear, and I barely get over 10kg even in winter (not counting water, since I only fill that up for the last stretch before camp - that's another 5 kg). Are bringing water for the entire week or something?
