Ultralight backpackers have ruined my enjoyment and sport. I'm constantly being ridiculed over the size of how much I pack and my choice of backpack because I don't keep within the ultralight weight limit. Just last week I had a group of women joke about how much I was carrying for a 3 day hike. I fucking hate it, fuck these ultralighters

A big heavy fucking pack full of shit you probably don't even need is the way God wanted you to camp.

A full ultralight setup is probably $2,000 minimum. But if you go Cheap Heavy Mode you can probably do it for $500 or less (i mean brand new equipment, not fb marketplace finds).

I love ultralighters. I got a really nice Mountainsmith pack at the Goodwill bins for $5. It must have failed to sell on their website and then in a store because omg it weighs 4 lbs or something.

I blame the big outdoor retailers and the people that take counsel of their marketing.
Hike your own hike Bro. Don't worry about what some no outdoors time drone thinks because it does not align with their REI programming.
I have a 65 liter military surplus pack with frame that cost me about $75. It is very durable. I have an old milsurp sleeping bag, a hammock & tarp setup that I like, old surplus canteens with the metal canteen cup to cook in.
Add in food, water & hygiene items my pack is right at 40 pounds.
I have carried it many miles across rugged Appalachian terrain. I am not a through hiker and do not pretend to be but I do get to the Appalachian mountain streams and lakes that I enjoy no problem. My gear is rugged and durable. The gear I carry allows me to get a good night sleep too.
A lot of the trends in outdoor gear are marketing schemes.
"Cotton kills" You have to buy the REI synthetic clothing. Bitch - thousands of people across the world are enjoying the outdoors right now wearing only 100% cotton clothing.
"You have to buy this $400 pack and $500 tent or the girls will laugh at you." Actually, I'm not an unmuscled twink and I can carry 40 pounds just like the last 1,000 years of my ancestors did.
Freeze dried food, $12 for what they call 2 servings that is not one meal in reality. A pound of rice and a good can of soup is $6 and a much better meal than your "Pro Hiker Freeze Dried Bullshit."
Don't pick up a nice piece of hickory in the woods. "You have to buy these trekking poles."
REI is going to start people to start carrying bottled oxygen next. It will be in a titanium bottle though so people will think it is light, trendy & cool.

You are such an urban LARPer you do not even realize there are people that spend hours outside in all weather conditions many days a week.

You live in a cubicle apartment. You transit to a cubicle for work. Then 1 weekend out of every three months you go out to "hike".

I mean you can hike uncomfortably for a long time and not know any better. Staying ignorant of things that increase quality of life just means that youll.get used to what you know. I used to think that cotton was perfectly fine (it still isnt that bad all things considered) but after trying wool stuff for the first time I realized just how much I had been missing out.

I never mentioned synthetic materials. He just tried to pigeonhole the conversation into a false dichotomy (synthetics or cotton) without acknowledging that wool exists. Therefor, an indirect quote of him saying “wool doesn’t exist” is completely apt.

The second indirect quote is referencing >>2751323 wherein he creates a false premise of being wet (from rain or sweat) when the conversation is about drying off. The latter shouldn’t have to be explained. The fact that it does, and that he missed the point, is an indication of board quality (it’s very low).

little known fact, nobody ever went outdoors before nylon was invented. that's because without synthetics you will die within five minutes of leaving shelter. because natural fibers are abrasive and make your plump thighs all chafey.

Buddy, if there's one thing I've learned in almost 20 years of out, it's that ultralighters never make it further than 2-3km from the nearest parking lot. Beyond that, it's all tradgear, milsurp and the odd teenager with a 10€ discounter backpack.

Even if it wasn't plain to see (well, for everybody who goes out...), just think about it: People who have the extra money to spend on overpriced ultralightshit generally don't have the free time to go out all that much. Can't be several day's marches from civilization when you might have to answer calls and emails at a moments notice.
Only exception to that areretired boomers, who also really love their ultralight toys, but they never really go into the woods either.

But I guess none of that ill register while you still have to justify spending 50$ on your magnesium twigsnapper...

This. I personally invest in durable but light comfortness. Wide and long sleeping pad, good pillow and sleeping bag, some good food. But generally very light, tent and cookware is really light. You dont have to sleep on a 1/8 pad and be eating slopblocks. You also dont have to carry 80lbs of milsurp.

Thats what I use my 1/8" for. Essentially acts as a groundsheet/protection from punctures. Its also generally nice and foldablez which means its easy to use as a sitting pad when resting.

Yep. Its also waterproof and if it's evazote it has a lot more friction so youre pad isnt sliding around. And you also have a clean dry mat for organizing and packing. Cheap and light.
