About this deal
Remember to handle ultralight equipment with care, as they may break more easily than equipment made of stronger materials. This is easier said than done, especially in challenging circumstances. In Sarek, I literally got my ultralight rain pants to shreds, and I even had to fix some holes in the tent fabric with tape. An average of 8 pedestrians died and 115 were seriously injured per week in reported road collisions.
I also own a Nemo Hornet 1P tent that weighs only half of the MSR (and is also smaller), but I only use it in nice summer weather, as I don't think it is durable enough in harsh climates.Do you have to walk along poorly lit streets, rural lanes or areas with narrow or indeed no pavement where you’re very close to the traffic?
Built for serious adventures with lots of external attachment points with very durable construction Heavy break sandals. There is a surprisingly large variation in the weights of outdoor sandals. Crocs are on the lighter side. You can also craft DIY slippers from strips of foam.Are you thinking about walking to work but are worried about how to make yourself more visible when travelling in the darker winter months? I've also been dreaming about all kinds of ultralight DIY gear. Their materials are also often valuable, so you don’t want to make many mistakes when making them. For a sewing and handicraft enthusiast like me, making your own lightweight gear opens up new and exciting hobby opportunities. Weigh your equipment. Open Excel or a similar free program. In the columns, write each piece of equipment you own on its own line. Weigh each piece of equipment and write down the weight in the columns. In Excel, it is easy to calculate how changing one piece of equipment for another (or removing it) affects the total weight.
