Overnight backcountry backpacking/hiking in the spirit of taking less and doing more. Ask yourself: do I really need that?

Is ultralight actually more expensive than other types of backpacking?

The gear is absolutely more expensive, from the pack to tent/hammock to stove to everything else.

It's a never ending game of compromise and expense.
