Stupid Light?

[mtwarden]

I was thinking that a good way to cut weight might be to forego fuel and stove and bring foods that don't require cooking/heating. I have yet to try this though.

I've tried it. It works OK in the "summer", but shoulder seasons/winter I want warm meals and warm beverages. My stove, pot and a small fuel canister (~ 5 days worth) is a pound—a pound I'm not skimping on

I've been playing around with an UL loadout for here in the East. Headed out this Tuesday for a 2 day one night about as light as possible. Poncho tarp for rain gear and shelter (7oz) esbit cook kit (5 oz w/ food). Still debating if I want to bring the saddle or hunt from the ground.

27lbs Includes:
-k2 frame, k3 3200 w/lid (5lbs) I would like to try a k3 1800 for even lighter weight
-rifle (5.28 lbs)
-Saddle Kit (6.06)

Mild weather and a lack of truly remote areas make it considerably easier to be UL here.
