WILD GEAR
MY BACKGROUND is mountaineering and transalpine tramping, and more recently lightweight, long-distance bikepacking, so I'm very aware of equipment base weight (the weight of all your gear minus food, fuel and water). I like the liberty of a light pack and the benefits of less bodily stress and increased agility and balance on difficult terrain.
I've actively cut weight over thebehind the inner of my freestanding tent and use just the fly and poles.
