Nice.

I carry lightweight gear, then get a good rugged strong pack. Obviously it adds weight, but it's not ripping. Right now I carry a CDT. I could kick it down the trail, and it would still be intact. Respect for the 6.4 though.

Great gear review. No frills setup you have there. I discovered the Injini socks while in the Army. My 1SGT recommended them and I've never looked back. I put so many miles on those socks without a single blister. I cannot recommend them enough to folks who are blister prone. Again - great setup you have here. Thank you for sharing!

That’s so funny you are carrying a pump. I have a base weight about 20 lbs and a pump isn’t even in my radar in terms of things I’d like to carry. We all pack our own fears and we all have different priorities in regards to luxury items. 👍🏼🦶

Well thought out gear review. However for some reason it 1st felt like a Zpacks commercial for some reason. lol I have a UL system similar to yours but with the Zpack Nero. I wanted a Zero ( 9oz ) pack with straps and pockets which they never made. Waited till the Nero ( 10.9 oz ) came out , which was the identical customization I wanted to do the the Zero. Needless to say , mine is one of the first ones. I save a lot of weight not needing any heavy clothing , Florida is a semi-tropical area. A Good Jungle hammock takes the place of a tent.

I do have a hammock set up too. I think it was about 7.5-8lbs weight though. Underquilt just add weight in colder weather.

Did my AT thru hike this year and that Base Weight is darn impressive. I started Feb 16 with a base weight of 12lbs. One liter Smart Water bottle 2.2lbs, and three days of food at six pounds. Obviously, as I got trail legs, revamped my food supply, and sent home the warmer clothes my packed lighten up a bit but I think it hovered consistently at 24-25lbs after a resupply. I don’t see any trail videos, did you complete your hike?

Hi. I have several same / simular items. I've been eye-ing the paka wool sweater for a while. You mentioned that your cold weather gear is 1.1lbs. But the sweater and wool base layer are 15oz apiece, the torrid jacket 7oz and the rain jacket and pants .... is that a miscalculation or maybe I didn't hear it correctly? My kit minus the inflation device is closer to 8lbs. (Plus Cook kit, poop kit, minimal first aid kit and other ditties)

Im working on a gear review for them currently. I own three different styles.

Nice, light kit. Your lighterpack listing needs to be updated to reflect the weights of some of the items noted. Do you sleep in your pants/shorts? In my part of the country I would not trust your kit for evening warmth until late March into September or so as long as you weren’t at higher elevations such as the Smokies. I would want something clean and dry to wear on my lower half for sleeping, at least some wind pants if not poly or wool long john bottoms. Also waterproof mitten shells for the gloves in inclement weather. I think your real base weight is closer to 10 lbs but I personally think the weight that should be the focus of everyone’s attention is all carried items less fuel, food and water. The last two will of course skew your true comfort level if you carry too much of either (food and water). Good luck out there.

That system (added shorts)ensures I’m not getting pine pitch, dirt, moisture etc. on my pad and quilt. I still say the real story about weight on the trail is carried weight. That’s what goes up and down every hill or mountain.

Some issues with your lighterpack - you’re missing weights on a lot of things and also not all of the weight is consumable, for example the water bottles and fuel canisters have residual weight. Also if this is a summer gear list a lot of the clothing would not be worn and should be included in the base weight.
