Ultralight backpacking is great but don't sacrifice the comfort specially in backpack (paddings) it will take toll on your body if you'll go a thru hiking like AT.

Only if you overpack your ultralight backpack. So not true!!!

I'm an ultra-lightweight backpacker and survivalist with an10 lb base pack. I don't count any of the gear I "wear", including a survival tin, hat, scarf, chapstick, vaseline in a tube, tiny bottle of hand sanitizer, tissues, multi-tool and knives.  I use a large lumbar pack that has a top pouch if needed. I carry items that either directly support survival (shelter, fire, water, food) and have dual-use. I use layers and multiple purpose to justify anything I carry.
