i believe nothing this guy says simply because he has muscle milk in his kitchen. Comon man get some real nutrition. U wanna be lean, u gotta be clean . muscle milk is the worst product ever invented

@WannabePFC first its my roommates, "If their isint anything positive for you to say then dont bother" thats your quote from your own vid, nice.

Really top idea with the mesh bags, I'm borderline OCD when it comes to organising my pack.

I've noticed that those across the pond are much more hardcore on the lightweight then us Brits, is it because we are just to sissified here?

Seriously on your ultra light trips what's the weather you face, is it as unrelentingly rain dominated as our climate, because it's the risk of hypothermia that ends up trashing many of my lightweight ideals.

@Rambleale it rains all the time here, something as simple as a AMK bivvy can keep you warm, and having the skills of making fire is most important

@beast12101

I ask out of curiosity. I think an issue with going light here is that the 'wild' bits of the UK are less 'wild' and tend to be open mountain/hillside and moorland so fires are either impractical, no fuel or dangerous/illegal, the peat underfoot burns.

Still I think a lot of it is habit, most Brits think ultralight would mean leaving out the bottle of wine.

[beast12101]

@Rambleale being ultralight, is more of a mindset , you find ways of doing things without of the right stuff. Not so different than the bushcrafting groups. a lot of ultralight hikers wont bring a heavy jacket, while hiking keeps you warm and moving, if you get cold when you stop, simply get in your sleeping bag.

i like your net idea but some nets are stronger then others. I work as a produce clerk and see a ton of these. FYI do not use the onion ones bc they DO break easy but some are strong like the avacado ones. all and all (thumbs up)
