An ultra-light and full comfort 11,9 lbs backpacking gear list, nice!

[@tonyg.8688]

I appreciate you adding in the weight in imperial for US, Liberia, and Myanmar users. I feel like I rarely see that. Thank you!

[@roberthammenrudh]

Glad you appreciate that and I see it as pretty important when doing the videos in English so that all English speaking can get the info they need/want.

Would be great if you make a video for your winter gear

[@roberthammenrudh]

Hi 👋🏻 well, I actually don’t hike during winter so that would be my skiing gear 😄 but, who knows…maybe I will try it out some time in the future, a different kind of hiking experience for sure!

[@alexispbm]

Well or maybe your shoulderseason set-up you mentioned somewhere? I love hiking in late September in Lappland, and most content creators are optimizing for more southern climates. Thank for the good work, +1 sub

I’d like to know more about your Bluetooth thermometer. I was thinking of getting one as well instead of a Thermadrop to hang on my pack but they don’t seem to even be water resistant.

[@roberthammenrudh]

Yes its à small great little thing I found on Amazon. Below a link for more info: www.amazon.com/ORIA-Thermometer-Hygrometer-Bluetooth-Temperature/dp/B08LK935R1/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=17A3D757WT85W&keywords=thermometer+bluetooth+button+outdoor&qid=1655730588&sprefix=thermometer+bluetooth+button+outdoor+%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-7

[@5ervalkat192]

Great video. Your tent is intriguing! If you feel like it, a review on that sometime would be great. Your base weight is always so impressive; I can't seem to get mine below 13lbs, and that's with a DCF trekking pole tent!

[@roberthammenrudh]

Thanks so much 🙏🏻 and yea did a review in the tent when I bought it so it’s in the list there somewhere…but, been thinking about doing another one now that I have been using it for over a year. The magic happens when you leave things at home AND save on the smaller things…. No way around that one even if most of it is light weight equipment. But, 13 or slightly over is fine 👍🏻 one small step at a time!

[@davids9549]

Good job, it's a sound kit list - some of mine mirrors yours, but also some is different - certainly a few ideas for me to consider (I've already adopted part of your packing system, thanks), and a few other things where I'm satisfied my decisions suit me better. If I traded in my 1.1kg pack for an Atom+ our baseweights would be near identical. Yes, there are plenty of even lighter options out there, but the point is that we consciously choose the weightier item because we have good reason to. Thus there's really no such thing as 'ultralight', there's just the lightest weight to suit a particular individual's circumstances, and that is going to vary from person to person. PS: I moved from a MSR Blizzard Stake to the Vargo Titanium Dig-Dig. It's a tad heavier at 35g (and will still double as a stake), but I'm sure you would prefer its superior performance!

[@roberthammenrudh]

Thanks and yea, you are absolutely right so agree to your thoughts about weight 👍🏻 I have seen the Dig Dig on pictures and heard people talking about it so I hope to be able to try one out sometime and compare to the Blizzard peg but if you changed maybe I will to 🤷🏼‍♂️ we’ll see.

[@zzww9483]

I am curious what is the lowest night temperature you would spend your nights with your Xtherm pad and what's is the temperature rating for your quilt?

[@roberthammenrudh]

Hi ZZ, we’ll the lowest temperature I sleept in this combination is -7 degree Celsius or 19.4 F if I understand the conversion right…but that was cold! Not from the ground but the quilt is only rated comfort +2. I had the down pants on as well as the Plancklite and lucky for me I brought a thin small fleece blanket that night!! But in comfort and without the blanket I would say -2 to -3 depending on the moisture. If I do more hikes like that I need to buy a warmer quilt!! The X-Therm is good for more I think but because I don’t have a better quilt I can’t try it out. And, I’m a very cold sleeper!

[@chrishamilton2527]

I checked out some of this gear; the tent, per Big Sky, is limited to a max user height of 6ft. Those Turmeric meals are also an issue .......there are simply not enough calories. The other issue is the down clothing - again it's not available in genuinely larger sizes. Such a pity.

[@roberthammenrudh]

Yeah the BS Revolution 1.5 is a bit shorter than the 1 and the 2 so not for taller people. Cumulus though I believe maybe can make bigger sizes but not sure, like you say not all do. The meals well, not sure what you mean, I bring like maybe 2200 kcal/day on hikes up to a week and don’t mind the loss of energy for such a short period of time… if you want more, bring more 🤷🏼‍♂️ add a few flapjacks or ad a bag of noodles for a bigger lunch.

[@chrishamilton2527]

@@roberthammenrudh thank you, Robert. I contacted Cumulus and they stated they will not make larger - surprising given their largest size is not very big; just 46" chest. Yes abut the food but it's self defeating. Instead, I make my own food to take with me.

[@mfinn4463]

Love this video Robert, nice blend between going light and a bit of luxury. Going to analyze that Lighterpack list, a lot of my items are lighter but my base is 5.9kg!...i suspect i carry too much...😀

[@roberthammenrudh]

Hi and thanks! Well there is no reason to go crazy light and to sacrifice comfort when there are so many good and light enough gear out there! It’s a hobby and one has to enjoy it as well 🙂

[@tomnoyb8301]

Outstanding. Tent looks amazing. Too bad Big Sky can't seem to execute (rarely in-stock, rarely respond to customer problems, DCF foray failed, tents only for short-people, etc.), because Big Sky designs really appear innovative? Would really like to see them succeed. Great load-out.

[@roberthammenrudh]

Thanks 😊 and yea, you are right…Big Sky products are often out of stock and they don’t seem wanting to do anything about it. Been like that forever…also regarding bad customer support. Love my tent and it have served me well for 2 years now but for this year I will also try a Middus1p from Bonfus. Like a Altaplex but on steroids 😄 like a tipi, perfect for above tree line hikes.

[@daveyyc9784]

Spec on the tent in your link is over 1300g. Not under 1kg as you said.

[@roberthammenrudh]

You are absolutely right, my BigSky Revolution weights in including the bag and poles 1340 grams… and I’m pretty sure I didn’t say it weighed less that 1 kg 🤔 got to check it out though!! Thanks.

[@XA1985]

Did those pouches for bottles on the shoulder came with it?

[@roberthammenrudh]

Yes they are standard on the Atom+ 👍🏻love them!

[@DadCamps]

Great video! Curious, why bring both the wind jacket and the rain jacket? I’ve always just thought the rain jacket did both.

[@roberthammenrudh]

Hi 👋🏻 and thanks. You’re right, a rain jacket does both, but, wearing it all the time also as a wind jacket you will wear it down quicker and then not being waterproof when you need it to be. A wind jacket is cheap so for me I rather replace it if needed than change the rain jacket that are expensive.

[@markoruotsalainen5480]

For Coffee: Can recommend the GSI Ultralight Java Drip. 11 grams,

Yea. I have seen that one and absolutely an option… actually bought a cheap alternative I’m trying out right now but, if that doesn’t work out…GSI next 😄👍🏻

[@smoofinatorftw]

Great information! I've been following since you reviewed the NU25, which helped me decide if I should do that and also whether I needed to use the lightweight band hack. Thank you! Do you have a patreon or something? I really do appreciate the effort you put into your videos.

[@roberthammenrudh]

Thanks a lot for that and glad you like my videos and find them useful 🙂 I’ve been thinking about Patreon but at the moment I’m probably a bit to small of a channel, but who knows…maybe during 2023, we will see, might happen 🙂

[@Greghikes1]

Probably been said, but ultralight is sub 10lbs/4.5kg 🙂

[@gadblatz4841]

Love your videos, but also 11.9 pounds is almost 25% above most folks definition of ultralight. It's ok to be a proud lightweight backpacker :)

[@roberthammenrudh]

Haha well, at least 19% 😄 but since the only difference and what’s keeping me away from those 10p is my tent I still categorise it as UL. It’s a choice I made for the last two years and love the space and comfort it gives me. But, for 2023 I will be changing to a much lighter option. A 575 grams shelter from Bonfus so, I will reach those 10p very soon…just placed the order yesterday 🙂

Bra video som vanligt. Har du bytt ut dit Hillbergs enan? om ja varför ?

[@roberthammenrudh]

Tackar så mycket 🙏🏻 och ja, bytte förra Augusti och valde i våras att sälja mitt Enan. Främst för bättre utrymme, bättre sitthöjd och bättre ventilation med minskad kondens och superskönt verkligen att slippa sitta med taket i huvudet och kunna röra sig inne i tältet på ett helt annat sätt. Jag har enbart vid ett fåtal gånger fått lite kondens vilket försvunnit innan jag var redo att packa det…de två ventilations öppningarna gör susen.

@@dougieranger because I’m a cold sleeper…I suggest picking a slightly warmer quilt like the 400 if looking for a 3 season one… If I would buy one today that would be my choice. I can manage with the 300 but it’s nicer sleeping only with the baselayer compared to adding the puffy and pants ! 🙂

Tja! Tack för videon och din genomgång, bra tips på vägen mot en lättare vandring! Snyggt upplagt och lätt att följa. Apropå tältet. Hade du bytt ut det mot zpacks free duo eller behåller du hellre det du har? :)

[@roberthammenrudh]

Tack så mycket Erik! 🙂 och ja jag tror att Free Duo är så pass bra, väldigt lika i storlek och Zpacks har valt en något tjockare kolfiber för sina stänger jämfört med tex Tarptent så tror det är mer hållbart samt stabilare pga det. Hoppas kunna uppgradera till nästa år, men just nu är dollarn så dyr att det blir lite dyrt!!

[@birgerkung]

@@roberthammenrudh Mjo, den där dollarn får gärna sjunka lite. Jag tror jag siktar på det tältet jag med, även om SAOR och Niak är med i mitt avvägande. Svårt det här med tältval alltså... Har ett Allak nu, lyxigt för en! Men tungt...

[@roberthammenrudh]

@@birgerkung ja jag har tittat på SAOR jag också men jämfört med mitt BigSky blir skillnaden för liten, bara 200 gram totalt med den info jag fått i alla fall. Sedan vill jag ha en ordentlig inneryta, saor är lite smal där, bara 80 bred, för att få en absid. Niak är fint, men lite tungt och också mycket kondens jämfört då den saknar ventilation. Vi får hoppas dollarn går ner och göra en investering till våren 🙂

[@birgerkung]

@@roberthammenrudh Ah, jag har inte ens reflekterat över Niaks ventilation... Vilken noob. Då blir det att börja spara nu inför våren :) Lycka till!

[@roberthammenrudh]

@@birgerkung 😂lätt missat, tanken är att dom skapat en duk som inte riktigt når ner till marken och på så sätt skapa en genomströmning av luft genom tältet. Fungerar till viss del men jämfört med en högt placerad ventilation inte alls i närheten! Ja det blir att sikta på nästa år för min del också. 👍🏻
