>>1693847>I don't mind extra weightYou will on a thru hike.
>>1693891>Price.Only DCF stuff is expensive. Everything else is standard price.
>Quality.What evidence do you have of UL gear being poor quality?
>Idiot tax.See the above about price. You can have a light pack for cheap.
>Reliability.What? What makes you think light stuff is unreliable?
>Resistance.What? What makes you think light stuff is unresistant?
>The only people that go UL in my country So your country has a bunch of stupid people going out in it? This hasn't nothing to do with the gear, but the users inability to select the right stuff for the conditions, or they lack the skills required to use the stuff they packed. Next you're going to tell me you think guns kill and not the people behind them.
>but RICH idiotsAh, now I'm stating to see. You have a chip on your shoulder.
>I just really dislike UL faggotsYou hate scene kids and posers. Every activity is full of them. I agree with you. But pointing your hate beam towards the equipment people use rather than the people themselves is foolish.
>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.Name an activity that doesn't have loads of people doing this in it. Bushcraft, cycling, rock climbing, skiing, fishing, whatever. All these pass times have people involved who are more insterested in their gear than the activity itself. We live in a consumerist society there's nothing else to it. You can either just move on or spend your time getting bent out of shape about it.
>my backpackAh a favourite of mine. The old = good/high quality. They made shit gear then, just like they make shit stuff now. I'm glad your still rocking your dad's old pack. I much prefer modern gear, sue me. I'm certainly not going to let the fact you like old gear stop me enjoying going out.
