I decided to elaborate on some of my motives for being an avid ultralight backpacker as well as some of the equipment I use to keep my treks enjoyable and hassle-free.
Ultralight packing embodies one of the fundamental concepts of nature-focused hikes: leaving nothing behind on a trek as well as striving for the most minimal impact upon your environment around you. Ultralighting can be as simple or in-depth as you want it to be. It's not for everybody though, it demands meticulously stripping your essentials to the most minimum you can go out with, assuming your doing it within your comfort zone. [i.e. some tramps go without the most basis medical supplies, I think that's crazy]
I find the most pleasure in ultralighting when I'm scaling hills or bouldering and I'm not caught up trying to maneuver pounds upon pounds of equipment around. It leaves you with much more energy to expend on getting your fullest experience out of the nature around you.
And my basic setup [very basic, not including initial foods or some miscellaneous items]:
Atmos 35 liter pack, my baby. :B
