STUPID Ultralight Gear Loadout! | 5lb Baseweight for Backpacking Overnighter

I swear someday somebody's going to walk out for a thru-hike with only a jug of water and a protein bar 😂😂😂

You know, you can file down the handle of the gallon jug to save some weight.

Now's the time for us to go light with these temps. I have a question for you Bryce. In two weeks CSC and I are going out and I need someplace new. You know anywhere in Ohio besides the normal Mohican, Zaleski, Archers, Wildcat, Vesuvius... any different than the normal WNF trails? Have a great adventure going that light. Guessing you're going to the place I saw you this past winter.

[@BryceNewbold]

Don't know of really any others. Those are the best ones at least. And I did a new loop this time at mohican. More milage

[@greg32282]

This sounds like a 3 item bushcraft trip. Lighter, knife and rope, then head out for a couple of days. Of course add water and food to that also lol

[@danwheeler182]

Thumbs up just for making me laugh for the "sweaty cause I just got done watching cops" comment. Great delivery on it too. Made my morning. Thanks.

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Awesome video as always. Great idea. “I’m sweaty, I just got done watching cops” Nice Stepbrothers reference. 🤣✌️Like that knife. I may pick one of those up. I’ll see if you have a link below. 5.4...well done. I have watched all your videos. This is my favorite so far. Crow✌️

[@michaelkork6773]

Man the step brothers reference made me laugh so hard 😂

Yo this is an amazingly underrated video your balance between being serious and sarcastic about "ultralighting" is sooo good

[@BryceNewbold]

😆😆. Thanks!

This should be a good one. Best of luck and I'm looking forward to it. Stay safe and be well.

Already have the LiteAF 46 and the multi day packs. Love them!

Can you make a LighterPack for all of your gear list videos!? I'd really appreciate it!

[@BryceNewbold]

Maybe someday. Honestly not interested in taking the time to do it. 😆

[@All_Things_Out_Doors]

Let me know what campsite you get I'll get one next to you sleeping on a big Agnes eating a bag of Doritos and watching tiger king on my phone. Very entertaining Bryce! Love the video and looking forward to the trip.

[@TainoXtreme]

Awesome video subject. I liked it so much I gave you a like. How much did you pay for the air mat and where can I get it from? Please make a second part of this video after you come from your outing experience with this gear and tell us how did it go. Thank you so much for sharing this video. God bless you.

[@cgriggsiv]

This is going to be an interesting trip can't wait to see the video on this one Mega Graham weenie 🤣🤣🤣 Stay safe out there And have yourself and the family a wonderful Fourth of July

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

Video update.... Bryce is still lost somewhere in Mohican.... search party has given up all hope.... more details when they become available....

[@FrozensAdventures]

I heard a horse dragged him back to the bridal area.

[@All_Things_Out_Doors]

He survived....he built a shelter with nothing but his shoelaces and a poop trowel.

[@Inspector007]

Bryce went so stupid lite they could find no evidence of him. 😊

[@veineryan]

Isn't that inflatable pad meant to be used with mummy sleeping bags inside the bag so the down underneath you can fill the gaps?

[@john_kelley]

Sorry I'm so sweaty....I just got done watching COPS! LOL. Use the leaves!

Leaves it is!

That is light. I think it will be cool and different. I plan to do this myself but I can tell ya right now I won't be near this light bc of my gear lol

[@stevenclutter6666]

Wait, wait, wait...LiteAF shelter??? I can’t wait to see that thing in action. Take all my money now!

[@jpriddle]

This is brilliant. Can’t wait to see your trip. Is the waist belt on your Atom sewn in? My Atom+ belt has velcro and is removable. Good move on the wind shells. They’ll add some comfort/warmth with the Costco quilt. Put your shoes and pack under your pad to elevate your head.

[@BryceNewbold]

Its actually a LiteAF pack. Some packs are removable but mine I'd sewn in

[@jpriddle]

Bryce Newbold Wow. I’m an idiot. Just gonna step away from the keyboard for a bit.

[@BurroGirl]

love your videos because they make me laugh, and they are not so serious and egotistical.

[@BryceNewbold]

I'm glad you like them😊

[@phrayzar]

Nice idea, and even better that you're not taking it too serious, too much serious around at the moment. Looking forward to the hike/camp video. Thanks from Down Under.

[@BryceNewbold]

Thank you!

[@jonflannery8984]

Curious how you would need to process wood for a camp/cooking fire? Live in KY myself and just wondering if I’m missing some info. I’ve usually just burnt longer pieces in two then move them on top. We will have to get together for a trip sometime. Ever make it the Red River Gorge?

[@thealpinebeachboys9093]

Some of these products blow my mind. Just starting to get into ultralight and the fact a tent can pack up like that is crazy. Great video man!

[@pspicer777]

Cat meow sound for the win!!!

[@stomperr69]

It’s a great stuff you had there but the backpack have u done some research for long term use? Since it’s dcf and this is a great material and yet from time to time due to abrasion it will tear off the backpack dcf material, but hey I might be wrong

[@michelstronguin6974]

I would bring the phone - it packs insane utility in a trip for what it weighs. And I would add the water filter, because that way you can carry less water from the start (since you said you would be carrying all your water with you). This also has the benefit of saving you in case you need more water than you took. Water is the thing that you can't really play with imo. A rescue might take a long while to come, or knock on wood - you have an issue with the sos device. Water filter is the failsafe. I never had the Sawyer sqweeze (full size) fail on me yet. As long as I backflush often, its good for a half a million to a million uses.

[@akif684]

HELLO YOU CAN USE PENCIL SHARPENER FOR TENT STAKES , FOR WATER CARRY USE BALOONS OR CONDOM , WATER FILTER -AQUAMIRA OR WATER TABS , USE PONCHO TARP AS A SHELTER( with bugbivy) AND RAIN GEAR , use sticks or hiking pole as a trowel , use a flashlight for headlamp , use drbrowner soap for toothbrush, use a gilette for knife , try coldsoaking for cooking or heat food with your bodyheat , use tentpoles as a spork , use a wearable quilt for insulation layer,use hiking poles for tent poles , layer , use a smaller backpack , :)) cya very nice video thanks for sharing

[@unpavedexplorer338]

Really cool idea. Mohican is a great place to do this. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.

[@livingsurvival]

That’s awesome. I need to see what I can come up with for stupid light.

[@Wondering_Fireball]

Ok, Brice, if the Lite AF was lighter with everything on it than the the other pack stripped down, what was the point of continuing to strip down the other pack? That makes no sense to me.

[@BryceNewbold]

Because they both had the frames in them that dont weigh the same.. if the hyperlites suspention was alot lighter than the LiteAF than it could have been the lighter pack.

[@Charsept]

Now these are my kind of challenges. This looks fun.

[@Oldsparkey]

You really went Physio Light. So get a BIG STEAK for dinner since the consumables weight does not count in the Ultralight total , but does on your back. A couple of things ( 4 ) I did to drop my pack weight into the 7 to 8 pound ultralight range so I could keep some comfort items. 1..I went with the Zpacks Nero at 10.5 ounces. It has the front pocket and water bottle pockets. 2.. The water filter , Katadyn BeFree with the 1 liter bag , 2.3 ounces. Larger bags are available. 3...Hummingbird hammock , bug net and tarp. Gossamer Gear thin pad. 4...Cook kit is between 3 different titanium ones , all are under 6 ounces. Here in Florida the idea is staying cool ( when camping ) for most of the year.

[@markcummings6856]

I like it. Aqua tabs.?

[@neilquinn]

I'm hoping Dan Durston releases the dyneema 1p tent sometime in the future. In the meantime I like the x-mid 1p (~28oz) or GG the One tent (~20ish ounces, a bit more with line I think)

[@martymorissette]

Junk!!!! hahahaha good stuff my friend! That was a neat video bro!

[@neilquinn]

Could use Aquamira drops for water. Nylofume for pack liner. For first aid kit add at least a single antihistamine tab (in case of allergic reaction) and an aspirin (in case of heart attack).

[@drvanwoert8751]

Does your cellphone weigh more than your camera gear?

[@mikeghost7788]

I just got done watching cops!!🤣🤣🤣 Love this video bro!! Cant wait to see how this trip goes, I honestly wouldn't do it lol!!! Also, why do you need a knife? I've never needed a knife to have a fire or actually heard anyone ever say that before you. I'm kinda blown away.

[@sonnyboywannabe]

Well damn! When does the actual trip come out? I was just up there this past Sunday night

[@BryceNewbold]

Hoping to have it out sometime this weekend

[@MmmmmmmmmmmMm15]

Not all 5 lb base weights are stupid light. THIS ONE IS 🤣🤣🤣

[@ckb1137]

polycryo sheet for shelter and groundsheet, just wrap it around yourself, it even comes with a skylight for star gazing! skip the sleeping pad for midsummer trips. heavy duty puffy and leg insulation and skip the quilt. Get a lighter pack like a palante etc. bring a mosquito headnet. skip the trekking pole. skip the tent stakes. skip the hand sanitizer. keep the trowel! I'm tired of seeing poop and toilet paper on the ground (dig proper cat-holes people, it isn't hard). Try a bidet instead of toilet paper, super nice option and potentially lighter as well. Sawyer mini for the memes. Nylofume for pack liner. Skip the headlamp get a rovyvon aroura flashlight instead, or for short trips just a basic single AAA battery type flashlight and skip the power bank. litesmith toothbrush, skip the toothpaste. Skip most repair and first aid stuff, just bring some luekotape, a sewing needle and some floss. Skip the bic mini. Skip the cook kit, bring a lighweight jar for cold soaking. A steak is about as far away from ultralight as it gets. go with peanutbutter, nuts, dried coconut and olive oil, fritos are actually pretty decent fyi. Bringing balanced electrolytes will actually reduce the amount of water you need thus saving weight, saltstick tabs are probably the best option. Kfc spork is fantastic. Skip the spot beacon. for short trips skip the phone and bring paper maps instead, you'd be surprised how many paper maps it takes to equal the weight of a phone + case + cable + power bank + wall charger. Skip the knife, get a razor blade if you really want something but tbh skip that too. Thin grocery store water bottles. I've put together a sub 3 pound list that actually works (kinda).

[@evanbarrett2072]

Great video. Lots of laughs 😂

[@adopancia7445]

But why don’t you buy some Ruta Locura carbon stakes? Lighter, much more robust and solid, and even cheaper than the sheperd hooks...

[@Ahex75]

Isn't bug net a convenience item? And what about tent, poncho made from DCF or space blanket should be enough. Sleeping pad, you could lean on a tree so you need just 30*40cm piece of sleeping pad. Water filter, why not purifying tablets? Lots of weight to cut when doing one night trip or even two nighter.

[@BryceNewbold]

Like I said I wasn't going to buy gear to do this. Just using what I have. And honestly what is not a convience? Shoes? A backpack? I could just carry everything in my arms 😆

[@xspireddreams]

Carry a water bottle in each hand - sorted! Saves 4.5lbs out of your pack!

[@hanskirk-hiking9697]

Great idea for a video - looking foreward to see how it tuns out. 😊🇩🇰

[@iberiksoderblom]

Tent ???

[@canadafree2087]

They say, "Stupid is as stupid does". J/K It is great to see how ultralighters swing it to help us heavies go at least down to mid-light weight. I like that you didn't just put together a fantasy video but have done a video where you use all this. I like the pack mod, goes to show that chopping things off is not always the best plan; look at all the features you took off the second pack and it still wasn't as light as the feature rich LiteAF pack.

[@4lakesoutdoor]

You should definitely tell us about the gourmet dinner on the trip and how you slept😅 Really cool and funny loadout!👍🏼 Greetings from the Helvetic Mountains🇨🇭

dude for sure your back will break on that pad hahaha!

[@thetommantom]

For the summer I hike in swim shorts and tank top with a long sleeve 150 or 250 wool shirt then I bring underwear tights and socks to sleep in with my down jacket and quilt. Swim shorts and tank tops wash like nothing if it's hot no shirt no problem and the long sleeve works in the summer too with and rain jacket.

[@thehikingshibas6069]

Maybe you Don't need a trekking pole. You could Bring a piece of string the length of the pole needed for the tent and then find one at camp and cut it to length. Good luck

[@thehikingshibas6069]

That would put you under 5lbs I think

[@friarrodneyburnap4336]

I use and highly recommend a Kelty Tioga or a Kelty Trekker...both Backpacks are guaranteed for life...even a Zpacks warranty is about a year or one through hike...you can still carry a 10 lb base weight or less with these...I own both designs...if Kelty never made Backpacks 99.9999999999 of thru hikers or Sauntering Backpackers wouldn't exist today. . .Kelty Backpacks started the modern Backpacking movement. . .I am a Sauntering thru Backpacker... P.S. Who was the people that set 10 lbs or less as Ultralight? Was there a committee that voted on that information? Or did somebody just come up with a arbitrary number that they thought look good. . .? I always learn something from your videos...

I swear, someday, somebody's gonna get killed out there with those minimalistic first-aid kits. The number of times I've had to bandage deep cuts in the mountains (by deep, I mean 4-6 stiches, blood everywhere deep) is amazing. And by bandage, I mean strong compression bandage over a sterile gauze pad, not some bandana-wrapped twice-around-a-scratch held together with two band-aids. My point is, all of these ultralight videos should also include for what terrain and for what conditions that gear is appropriate. Caught on in a saddle above 2500 meters in a severe storm with 60-80 kmph winds? No, an ultralight DCF tarp between trekking poles isn't 'shelter' in those conditions, it's either a sail or a kite (or usually in that order, before and after take-off). I'm all for going as light as possible with my knee issues, but reading terrain and deciding gear based on that is a must.
