also, it might be worth your while to make some trail mix instead of eating haribo, i know what you mean about the sugar but protien and carbs are much much better for you in the long run. The problem is that sugar is mostly glucose, glucose is broken down and used by your body very fast, thats the “sugar rush” then you crash if you dont keep eating sugar, carbs are complex so your body takes longer to break them down, which keeps you going longer and you dont crash. Trail mix is also delicious

some time, maybe when you are a bit older, you should try hiking the Wicklow way, it’s not far from your house and it’s a great trail.
This summer I am hiking the beara way, kerry way, dingle way, sheeps head way and possibly the wicklow way. Have a wee google.

Definitely, sil-nylon isn’t as strong as canvas.
Don’t get me wrong, I have a 4 season ultra light gear system.
I love it!
I just believe the NeoAir is priced at a ridiculous profit margin. I’ll wait until competition drives the price down to something reasonable before I buy anymore of that fabric.

i pack solo and use the golite @ 1 lb 10 oz. I dont use my bladder, instead I carry 2 small empty plastic water bottes and purifying tabs, all together weigh less than 2 oz.

So is most ultralight gear, it’s ultralight because it’s made out of more delicate and light material. Thats just what makes UL gear UL. You just have to know how to take care of it, and eventualy, you’ll get your money’s worth.

I have to reiterate that. Speaking clearly is a sign of courtesy to the listener. Many of us are actually trying to hear what you have to say. Unless you’re intentionally trying not to be understood. Nice video, but please try again, because it sounds like you’re trying to say something to us.

i’m not sure if i just didn’t catch it, but what do you do for shelter? do you have a tarp in the thermarest or somehtin?
