>>1845603Ok, hike your own hike bro. Take all the gear you want, but good luck pumping out 15 consecutive 35 mile days with a 30lb baseweight, you'll need it.
>>1845609Meh, you're right that in UL circles and forums 13lb baseweight is pretty middling. But most backpackers have much much heavier packs than I do.
I can reduce BW to just over 10lb by replacing my tent with a tarp, but I really like my current setup, and I feel significantly reducing weight beyond this point involves either spending a lot of money I don't want to spend on very high end gear, or making significant sacrifices that very much reduce my comfort/versatility, so I'm content at 13lb for now. I could shave a pound off by replacing my ULA circuit and tarptent Double Rainbow with a DCF pack and tent, but I just don't feel I can justify the price tag.
