A place to chat about gear and the philosphy of ultralight. Ultralight bushwalking or backpacking focuses on carrying the lightest and simplest kit. There is still a good focus on safety and skill.

Forum rules

Ultralight Bushwalking/backpacking is about more than just gear lists. Ultralight walkers carefully consider gear based on the environment they are entering, the weather forecast, their own skill, other people in the group. Gear and systems are tested and tweaked.
If you are new to this area then welcome - Please remember that although the same ultralight philosophy can be used in all environments that the specific gear and skill required will vary greatly. It is very dangerous to assume that you can just copy someone else's gear list, but you are encouraged to ask questions, learn and start reducing the pack weight and enjoying the freedom that comes.

Common words
Base pack backpacking the mass of the backpack and the gear inside - not including consumables such as food, water and fuel
light backpacking base weight less than 9.1kg
ultralight backpacking base weight less than 4.5kg
super-ultralight backpacking base weight less than 2.3kg
extreme-ultralight backpacking base weight less than 1.4kg

WANT TO BUY 20cm Easton Nails -Help.

Sun 18 Nov, 2018 1:40 pm

Looking to buy some (need two and want a couple for spares) -best price with delivery is from Tarptent $24 USD.
Unless someone on here can give me a Tarptent discount coupon? Anyone?
Open to alternatives, but must have that basic shape and that length.
Any ideas?
Have the solid ones now from One Planet, which are beasts and weigh 29 grams each.

Thanks very much! I went to their website and they said sold out. I'll ring them.

I got a set with a Tarptent that I bought last year. I didn't care for them and would be happy to send them to you if I can find them... but I think I put them in the recycle bin.

Thanks for the offer, but I managed to get three for a "reasonable" price through Locus Gear.
Their delivery is super (they must have the most reasonable and super-fast postage in the UL world! MY CP3s and Onda mat took only 3 days-quicker than from OZ!) quick and only $6. Worked out cheaper (a bit) than from anywhere and I could buy them loose.
