Ultralight Backpacking Gear Dump - Full Comfort - 20 Liter Backpack - 7 pounds!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Hey guys, if I missed something or you have any questions just drop them below in the comments or shoot me an email. For photos of my hikes, gear, and everyday shenanigans check out @motivatedbymountains on Instagram. Happy Trails!

[@janicsuhran]

Hi dude, can u make video about how to roll up the duplex? because my is so bulky, your is just tiny, i cant compress that much

[@TheUltralightMindset]

@@janicsuhran I just fold it over and over again until its roughly the size of the bag. The trick is to never fold one end over all the way. Stop just shy of the edge. That way all the screen and cord ends up inside the folds. Then its easy to slide into the bag with tons of room to spare. Hope that makes sense. I'll be posting this as a quick tip on Instagram soon.

[@HuskyHiker99]

Thanks for sharing. Some great gems in here that I will apply to my loadout. For the PCT I will have some additional gear, so will probably require a bigger pack. Boots (only through the Sierra), crampons (Sierra), headlamp, power bank, bear spray, some big water carries, etc. I have to lighten my load and this video is a great place to start.

[@MarkGoesHiking]

I really like that you reuse your trash bag. It is so easy to just dump and grab a new one. But less waste is always a good thing. Great video!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Absolutely. Pro tip. Fill them with soapy water, let sit for a few minutes, slosh around, rinse, and then hang them over your dinner plates in a drying rack. Fits perfect and its a fast easy way to keep them open for faster drying time. Every little bit helps...👍🏻

[@greggibson7313]

Helpful, very informative video! Thanks 👍👍

[@KevinZorc]

Hi Scott, thanks for sharing some comprehensive helpful info, as I drill down on my base weight for the upcoming trip.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Anytime my friend.

[@trooperjinthewoods4538]

The leggings are a great idea. When in the military we used nylons too stop chafing, bug bites , added warmth, and the slight compression offered by them soothed muscle fatigue and i believe they increased blood flow too my lower body ; or that could be just me but lets just say they increased comfort during heavy activity.

[@EspenFrafalne]

I really like the Hilleberg Bivanorak, and cant believe how few videos there are of this on YT..! At first i figured it was mostly some cool minimalistic piece of gear for getting "super ultralight" (below 5 pounds) at the expense of comfort, but i actually really enjoy using this shelter. It weighs 500g, and also works as really good raingear or as a windbreaker or windsack. Its got all the benefits of a bivy (like being able to set up camp right on the trail), but without the claustrophobic and limiting aspects. Sit up, stand up, cook food, and even walk around and have a pee while still in your nice warm shelter..! A headnet takes care of bugs, and weighs almost nothing. I bring a small 1x1,45m tarp as groundsheet for my sleeping pad (not really necessary if i prepare the area thoroughly), and if it starts raining, it is big enough to cover the hood of the Bivanorak when i sleep, or cook under during the day. As i sleep on the side, no rain should be able to enter the hood, but i still think its nice to have a tarp. Some days ago, i got the Bushcraft Essentials "Micro EDC" stove, which i think is pretty cool. It is too small to fit the Trangia burner, so instead i have tried using the metal cap from a bottle of booze, and the tin from a small tealight, just to heat water for a cup of coffee. My impression is that this SEEM good enough to cook food (not steak), but bringing it to a full boil can perhaps be an issue (especially in colder weather). As i always carry some method of waterpurification on my trip, i dont really need a full boil, and as i usually bring foods that need to simmer for some time, the relatively low heat is actually a *good* thing..! I also got the Bushcraft Essentials "Bushbox Ultralight" stove, which is big enough for the Trangia, and also works pretty good as a woodstove (the "Micro EDC" stove is not ideal for wood, although it could work in a pinch - and i believe its at least "ok" for a cup of coffee).

Quick tip - Bic flints can be dried easily by repeatedly rolling on your leg until it starts to spark again. I've revived Bics that were buried in mud and rusted out.

[@davids9549]

Very interesting - always wondered how a 7lb baseweight works when mine's closer to 7kg! This explains some of that, and why some of these UL options aren't for me, but also has some good ideas to get me closer to 5kg, my ultimate goal.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Mind if I ask, why 5kg?

[@davids9549]

@@TheUltralightMindset I think that's as light as I can get for UK 3-season hill use, without getting too uncomfortable or being reckless with safety. That's generally the opinion of other UK hikers as well. It also includes my fly-fishing tackle (about 300g). I have a lighter setup, closer to yours in fact, which I've been using for summer stealth camping in the woods during lockdown.

Good afternoon Scott, Thank you sir for a comprehensive video and gear description. Some of these tips, tricks, and equipment are going to be implemented in my gear. One small suggestion. If you can, see if you can create a zoomed in clip to pair with your main/macro view when describing small pieces of gear. I know camera angles and editing can be limited to what we have, so don't worry if you can't. Your episodes are always a treat and they have your signature. Have a great weekend and I'll stay tuned. PS: bread bags for the win!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the info. One of these days I'm going to buy a real camera. But for now the video quality on my phone doesn't really allow for me to zoom in and capture great detail. Blowing up the image during editing is limited. Find zoom in too much it gets super pixelated. Thank you very much for the feedback as always.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yup. I carry one 10,000mah battery and 2 cords. I keep them in my ditty bag unless I'm charging on the move. Then I put them in the shoulder pocket.

Great video. Quick question… what’s the sizing like for the all-paca fleece hoodie, ie. does it tend fit larger or smaller?

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Definitely a loose fit. It will also stretch a bit over time. For reference, I am 6'1" tall / 180lbs / 42" chest. I wear a small and it fits me perfectly. I like a slightly more athletic fit. If I wanted more of a typical sweatshirt/baggie fit I suppose I would wear a medium. Great hoodies.

[@wanttogo1958]

The warmer season Thermarest quilt you are using is their Vesper 45 degree? You mentioned it was a sewn through design so I assume that is the one you have. I ask as I was considering it for summer/late spring/early fall use and then pairing it with an EE Enigma Apex Climashield 30 degree quilt for cold season use. The Thermarest would be placed inside the EE quilt.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

I have the 32 degree Vesper. Comfortably warm to 40 degrees in base layers in my experience. Thats sounds like a good plan pairing the quilts. I have an EE revelation. The Vesper is very fitted through the legs and footbox so I think it would pair well with the EE quilt.

[@wanttogo1958]

@@TheUltralightMindset I had noticed it's dimensions were a little smaller than other non-custom quilts available. I'm 6'3" and 195 lbs so guessed the long version would work for me. I bought the EE Enigma in a large, wide size so it's slightly bigger in all dimensions than the Vesper in a long size. I have the Waymark Mile backpack. It has similar dimensions as the LiteAf Multi. I am trying to tighten my load up some so I can use it for shorter trips that won't require large water carry/ heavy food loads. Definitely want to keep total pack weight below 18 lbs. Thanks for the quick response and detailed video about the Multi and your loading of it.

@@wanttogo1958 That sounds like a great setup. My revelation is a long/wide and it definitely has some extra space inside...👍🏻

[@WildOnions]

Great video, I picked up more than a few "hacks" to lighten my pack, gram by gram. Do you hike using the cut-off yoga pant legs? If so, do they stay up? I subscribed and will be watching the camp shoes and pillow hack videos.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yes. I do hike with them on if it's cold. The best part is I can pull them down if it warms up and they slip over my shoes so I don't have to take off my shoes. They stay up pretty well but I've been thinking of adding a little silicone to the inside edge to help with that. Thanks for the SUB!!!! Scott

[@DGameFinishr]

Great video! Have you tried that pack with 4-5 days of food? How does it ride on your back and shoulders?

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yep. I have hiked with 4 plus days of food. It is frameless so you do have to keep that in mind while packing it, but that's not difficult. The shoulder straps ride really well. I have carried up to 18 lbs all day, without a hipbelt. Freakishly comfortable!!!

[@GreatAmericanHikes]

Katabatic quilts are seriously some of the best on the market. I don’t think their pad attachment system gets enough attention. When it’s locked down it’s not moving, no drafts.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Agree. I copied that same cord setup on most of our other quilts and ditched the straps.

[@marie-evecantin1489]

Thanks for the great video! You said you had 3 days worth of food in there. I would be interested in knowing what you eat to give me some ideas if lighter weight food. Thanks!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Sure.... It's not always the same, but something like this. Breakfast: Precooked Bacon or Jerkey with Poptart, oatmeal, or a cliff bar. (Fat & protein for sustained energy/sugar for quick start) Always Coffee, sometimes mixed with Choc Instant Breakfast (hiker cafe mocha) Lunch: Bars, granola, candy, nuts, chips or cookies. 3 to 4 snacks throughout the day. Usually eat while I hike. If I stop I like pepperoni and cheese wrapped in a small tortilla. Dinner: Knorr pasta or Ramen with Tuna or Chicken packet. Chips or crackers to jazz it up. Sometimes I'll eat a freeze dried meal if Im feelin fancy. Packing some cooked Town food is always nice if its the first night hitting trail in mid to late afternoon....👍🏻

hey there. would you say that this bag is comparable to the LiteAF curve ultra 20? im trying to compare the two bags and so far they appear alike, but just curious on your thoughts. i am leaning on the curve ultra 20 so far.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yes. Same design, volume, etc. Great pack!

[@zakafx]

@@TheUltralightMindset happy new year. after reviewing this video again, how many days can you go on a trip with food packed? i have switched to using a 20L pack that i had laying around and am comfortable using it for about 2 nights. i think i would be able to pack more if the bag was designed like the LiteAF multiday 20L/curve20L, as the one i use splits 2 pockets that are useful for other gear and not for meals. I like that the LiteAF pack are the full capacity in the pack and an extra 10L of external pocket space. I am having a hard time deciding between the Waymark EVLV 35 and a LiteAF pack, though I am more attracted to the LiteAF simply due to customization. I've discovered that in the 2022 season that I had a hard time packing my Osprey Talon 33L, as I did not have enough gear to pack and so the brain of the bag sagged quite a bit. So am switching to a frameless pack after the sweet test run I did in the fall time with the above-mentioned 20L pack I found.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

@@zakafx I love the 20 for short trips in warmer weather, up to 3 days food. I think the 35 is my favorite because of the versatility of that volume.
