My ultra-light backpack part 1

www.russellWeekendAdventurer.com Here it is, after years of experience and trying to lighten my load, this is what I have boiled it down to... but everything is always subject to change. :-)

55 YR OLD lady in nova scotia. im a stroke survivor and altho i don't travel as far nor as fast as i used to i still get out there alot. my pot has the coating inside too.......folding rubber handles too. but diff being that my cover doubles as fry pan. frypan is small but big enough to heat stuff, fry egg or fry up a squirrel. i cut up a fish (into 3 parts) fried it. i love my pot. just to share it with you. ps: i love ur videos........ty vm...........karen

@cougarbahia which pot set is it. I am always am looking at new stuff... or loved stuff :-)

Hey here is an idea for you. Drop the pad, the bivy, and the tarp. Get a hennessey hammock and you dont have to worry about rain, snow, or scorpions (bugs) on the ground. You dont have to worry about rocks or unlevel ground. It will lighten your load further. The snake skins let you contain the whole thing into one cord. I fold the whole thing up and can fit it in a wide mouth nalgine bottle to keep it dry. If you need for insulation they have modular addons.

[flyefysch]

Hey, Russell. Do you ever have a problem with condensation building up inside your bivy sack?

[ReeperzOutdoors]

Also, check in to a hammock! One you go hammock you'll never go back.......lol Love the hammocks............

[ReeperzOutdoors]

Nice job on the cozi.......I love mine. Check in to a light weight water filter. They are worth the weight. Nice job.

[blueshoestoo]

theres a super light water filter called the LifeStraw, its 2 or 3 oz, only costs $20. it takes out bacteria and protozoa. the other filters are heavier and cost more i as far as i can tell. i guess katadyn makes those bottle top filters if you carry a bottle, theyre not too bad. get a steri pen, but still need to filter water, have extra batteries etc. .

Good stuff. We are going hiking agian in two weeks and are gearing up to go much much lighter than the last time. ;) c

The poncho shelter does not seem like the best dual purpose gear to me. Let's just say its about 50 degrees F. It's been raining for awhile but your ok because you have your poncho. Only problem is you get to your camping spot for the night and the rain ain't letting up anytime soon and there is a nice cool breeze. What do you do? Wouldn't risk hypotherma taking off your poncho to make a shelter? Everything is wet so fire is not going to be an option. So seriously though what do you do?
