Weniger schleppen, mehr draußen erleben

Max er tilbake for en ny og uformell prat om utstyr, friluftsliv og modding! Vi får også et gjenhør med den sagnomsuste spalten "fortell meg om boden". Sindre har fått sommerferie fra 3. juni. God stemning. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In dieser Folge erzählen wir euch von dem zweiten Teil unseres bisher größten Abenteuers. Die nächsten 500 km auf dem Thru-Hike mit 1000 km in 30 Tagen. Diese Tage musste Robert nun leider verletzungsbedingt alleine bestreiten. Der zweite Teil schließt von den tollen Erfahrungen nahtlos an den ersten Teil an. Wunderschöne Natur, tolle Begegnungen und vor allem einiges an Trail Magic. Einzig das Wetter spielte dann nicht mehr ganz so mit. Kälte, Wind, Hagel und Regen waren ständige Begleiter. Mit Etappen von teilweise über 50 km wurde das große Ziel von 1000 km auf dem Nord Süd Trail tatsächlich erreicht. Wenn ihr also wissen wollt, was alles unterwegs geschehen ist, dann hört gerne rein. Wie immer würden wir uns freuen, wenn ihr uns eure Fragen in die Kommentare schreibt.Links aus der Folge:BLUETTI Elite 400: https://bit.ly/3PGihFmExklusiver 8% Rabattcode für Elite 400 (gültig: 25.05.–07.07.): ROBERT85% allgemeiner Rabattcode: ROBERT5Neues Dachzelt: https://www.thule.com/de-de/products/-_-901052Zero Tube Monocular: https://www.nocsprovisions.com/products/zero-tube-monocular-10x25?variant=49712589930775Sea to Summit Air Chair: https://seatosummit.eu/products/air-chairUnsere Social Media Auftritte könnt ihr hier finden:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertKlinkOTRoberts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertklink.de/Sebastians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sebas_23

In dieser Folge sind wir gerade von unserem bisher größten und längsten Abenteuer zurückgekehrt. 1000 km und 30 Tage auf dem Nord-Süd-Trail liegen hinter uns. Leider haben wir es nicht beide bis zur magischen 1000-km-Marke geschafft. Nichtsdestotrotz war diese Trekkingtour wohl eine der schönsten, wenn nicht sogar die schönste, die wir bisher gemeinsam bestritten haben. Die Kombination aus Landschaft, Menschen, Wetter und Trekkingplätzen war einfach phänomenal. Natürlich war aber nicht alles perfekt. Wir hatten mit körperlichen Blessuren und kalten Nächten zu kämpfen. Nun schlagen wir uns zusätzlich mit dem Thema Post-Trail-Depression herum. Dabei hilft uns der Podcast jedoch wunderbar, denn wir können gemeinsam mit euch über unsere Tour sprechen und die Geschehnisse in Ruhe Revue passieren lassen.Abschließend möchten wir noch erwähnen, dass wir in den Shownotes ein Interview mit den wunderbaren Leuten von Rewilding Europe verlinkt haben. Darin geht es darum, wie man Europa wieder zu einem wilderen Ort machen kann.Wenn ihr also Lust habt, schnappt euch einen Kaffee oder Tee und lauscht unseren Erzählungen.Links aus der Folge:Interview mit Rewilding Europe: https://youtu.be/Udg5O0DXVf4Mini Camping Licht: https://www.snowpeak.com/products/micro-hozukiSebastians Fahrrad: https://www.bike24.de/p1883867.html?sku=3005605Unsere Social Media Auftritte könnt ihr hier finden:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertKlinkOTRoberts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertklink.de/Sebastians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sebas_23

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Make Your Own Gear (MYOG), also die Möglichkeit, sich selbst Ausrüstungsgegenstände herzustellen. Grundsätzlich gibt es drei Hauptgründe, warum man seine eigene Ausrüstung herstellt: Man kann sie günstiger herstellen. Man kann sie leichter herstellen. Das Produkt, das man sich wünscht, gibt es einfach noch nicht.Natürlich gibt es hier verschiedene Level an Gegenständen, die man selbst herstellen kann. Angefangen bei z. B. einem eigenen kleinen Spirituskocher, über Campschuhe bis hin zum eigenen Rucksack. In den zahlreichen Packlisten von euch, die wir uns über die Jahre hinweg angeschaut haben, haben wir bereits einige tolle und innovative selbst hergestellte Ausrüstungsgegenstände gesehen. Wir selbst haben bisher, abgesehen von Windschutz und Gaiter-Befestigungen, eher wenig Ausrüstung selbst angefertigt. Stattdessen modifizieren wir sehr gerne unsere Ausrüstung oder bestellen komplett personalisierte Ausrüstung nach unseren Wünschen aus verschiedenen kleinen Shops.Selbst Ausrüstung herzustellen ist eine super spannende und interessante Sache und treibt vor allem die Innovationen und Entwicklungen voran. Was habt ihr schon selbst gebaut? Was hat gut funktioniert, was vielleicht nicht? Teilt es uns in den Kommentaren mit!Links aus der Folge:AlpinLoaker Isomatte: https://alpinloacker.com/products/r8-winter-isomatte?_pos=4&_sid=7a6d0e28f&_ss=rRivian R2 SUV: https://rivian.com/de-DE/r2Unsere Social Media Auftritte könnt ihr hier finden:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertKlinkOTRoberts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertklink.de/Sebastians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sebas_23

In dieser Folge reden wir über das wunderbare Phänomen der Trail Magic und das super hilfreiche Konzept der Trail Angels. Heutzutage haben wir, häufig durch die Lage der Welt bedingt, ein eher negatives Mindset und ein „gesundes“ Misstrauen gegenüber fremden Leuten. Genau diese beiden Dinge werden auf Wanderungen allerdings komplett auf den Kopf gestellt.Trail Magic bezeichnet unerwartete, schöne Erlebnisse oder Geschehnisse auf langen Wanderungen. Es kann eine unerwartete Wasserquelle sein oder eine überraschend schöne Begegnung. Wir berichten hierbei auch von unseren schönsten Trail-Magic-Momenten. Tatsächlich hatten wir auf so gut wie jeder Wanderung bisher Trail Magic. Das bedeutet eben auch, dass man sein Mindset dahingehend verändert und eine positive Einstellung sowie Energie an den Tag legt, weil man sich quasi ein Stück weit abergläubisch auf die Trail Magic verlässt. Noch einen Schritt weiter gehen dann die Trail Angels. Hierbei handelt es sich um Menschen, die meist in der Nähe eines Wanderweges wohnen und ehrenamtlich ihre Zeit aufbringen, um Personen auf dem Trail Services anzubieten. Diese umfassen beispielsweise Wasser auffüllen, Supply Drops, kurze Taxifahrten oder Essen kochen. Diese Services werden kostenlos angeboten, und als Gegenleistung werden häufig einfach nette Gespräche geschätzt. Natürlich sollte man hier nicht mit einer starken Erwartungshaltung herangehen, sondern einfach dankbar für jede Kleinigkeit an Hilfe sein, die einem angeboten wird. Trail Angels sind in Nordamerika sehr etabliert. In Deutschland gibt es auch immer mehr davon, was eine sehr erfreuliche Tatsache ist. Hier steht also das Prinzip der unerwarteten Hilfe im Vordergrund. Auch hier hatten wir einige sehr schöne Erfahrungen mit Menschen auf verschiedensten Trails.Links aus der Folge:Rockgeist Radtasche: https://rockgeist.com/product/dumpling-hip-pack/Nord-Süd-Trail: https://www.xn--nordsdtrail-xhb.de/NatureHike Rock 2.0: https://amzn.to/4erhDFESebastians Packliste: https://lighterpack.com/r/uwywr7Bikepacking Finnland: https://youtu.be/V6EliGk0g4Q?is=TiIFvz58ea8tEcklUnsere Social Media Auftritte könnt ihr hier finden:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RobertKlinkOTRoberts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertklink.de/Sebastians Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sebas_23

In dieser Folge gehen wir Schritt für Schritt gemeinsam mit euch durch, was passiert, wenn man einen Outdoor-Notruf absetzt, generell über ein Smartphone z. B. oder auch über ein Garmin InReach. Hier gibt es nämlich verschiedene wichtige Dinge zu beachten. Rettungen bzw. Notrufe z. B. in den Bergregionen nehmen immer weiter zu, denn Bergsport wird immer massentauglicher und interessanter. Hier ist es natürlich ein großes Anliegen, Notrufe aus Eigenverschulden, z. B. durch falsche Ausrüstung wie Flip-Flops am Berg, zu reduzieren. Ziel ist es, dass sich die Rettung primär auf richtige Unfälle fokussieren kann. Auch die Kostensituation muss man hier im Auge behalten.Wie gewohnt haben wir auch ein paar Outdoor-News dabei. Eine besonders interessante Nachricht ist, dass in Norwegen im Frühjahr acht brandneue Gravel-Bike-Routen geplant sind. Wir hoffen, dass euch die Folge gefallen hat. Musstet ihr schon mal einen Notruf absetzen? Wenn ja, seid ihr hoffentlich alle unversehrt wieder zu Hause angekommen.

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, host Dr. Lexi Gonzales explores how AI is revolutionizing functional medicine workflows with guests Sunita Mohanty and Crystal Brust. Sunita Mohanty is the CEO and co-founder of Ultralight (formerly Vibrant Practice) and. Crystal Brust is a Stanford-trained functional medicine Physician Assistant and founder of Farm to Functional Medicine. The conversation highlights how the Vibrant Practice platform addresses clinician burnout by integrating AI directly into the electronic health record (EHR) to automate documentation and synthesize complex patient data—such as genetics and timelines—into actionable insights. The guests emphasize that this "full stack" approach not only saves time but transforms the medical record from a static repository into an interactive tool that restores joy, creativity, and confidence to the provider-patient relationship.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die wahren Kosten einer längeren Tour. Natürlich haben wir auch wie gewohnt ein paar Outdoor-News und Kommentare im Gepäck. Angefangen beim Equipment: Entweder ist man ein Beginner und braucht quasi eine Komplettausstattung, oder man hat bereits das meiste an Gear und möchte einfach ein paar Dinge verbessern bzw. upgraden und beim Gewicht downgraden. Das wäre schon einmal der Hauptanteil der Kosten, der aber je nach individueller Ausgangslage sehr variabel sein kann. Dann gibt es noch weitere Kostenstellen wie z. B. Hotels an Zero Days und natürlich die Verpflegung. Andere versteckte Kosten wären z. B. unbezahlter Urlaub.Wie sind eure Erfahrungen hierbei? Habt ihr Tipps zum Sparen?

Navrhnúť lietajúce auto znamená riešiť protiklady. Lietadlo potrebuje obrovské krídla, auto sa musí zmestiť na parkovacie miesto. Štefan Klein po 30 rokoch vývoja a nespočetných prototypoch našiel odpoveď. Jeho AirCar už nie je len futuristický koncept, ale certifikovaný stroj, ktorý v móde auta prekonáva parametre mnohých superšportov.Cesta od prvého „statického“ AeroMobilu z roku 1989 až po dnešný AirCar so zaťahovacím chvostom a lámanými krídlami bola popretkávaná omylmi aj odvážnymi inžinierskymi riešeniami. Aktuálny prototyp s výkonom 300 koní dokáže vzlietnuť po krátkej transformácii, ktorú zabezpečuje 24 servomotorov, pričom vodičovi stačí stlačiť jediné tlačidlo. O tom, prečo je automobilový motor v letectve paradoxne spoľahlivejší než ten klasický a ako sa vyvíja volant, ktorý musí ovládať kolesá aj krídelká súčasne, sme sa rozprávali s dizajnérom a vizionárom Štefanom Kleinom.Pripravte sa na budúcnosť s knihou od redaktorov Živé.sk „Umelá inteligencia: Pripravte sa na budúcnosť“. Teraz ju máme aj v elektronickej verzii. Nájdete ju na obchod.aktuality.sk.TIP: https://zive.aktuality.sk/clanok/0RfdZVW/nahliadnite-do-buducnosti-vydavame-knihu-o-umelej-inteligencii/V podcaste sa dozviete aj o týchto témach:Prečo sa prvé koncepty s krátkym trupom neosvedčili a ako AirCar vyriešil stabilitu vďaka zaťahovaciemu chvostu.Ako dosiahnuť zrýchlenie z 0 na 100 km/h za 2,8 sekundy.Ako sa palubná doska automaticky prepína medzi cestným a leteckým režimom.sú kolesá z uhlíkových vlákien a prečo AirCar nikdy nemohol byť v kategórii Ultralight.Čo sa deje pod kapotou počas 80-sekundového procesu skladania krídiel.Či musí pilot po automatickej transformácii stroja vyjsť von a vykonať vizuálnu kontrolu.Ako dokáže skupina siedmich ľudí konkurovať svetovým gigantom.Podcast SHARE pripravuje magazín Živé.sk.

Ultra light roast coffees have high clarity, preserve volatile flavors, and roasted in a way to minimize roast flavor. That sounds like a perfect cup, however, there are some limitations to that style of roasting. In this episode we unpack a few ways ultra light roasts are limiting and may not be the coffee for what you want to do.

Host Seth Swerczek sits down with fan favorite Joe Thielen to break down the build behind his ultralight 6.5 PRC hunting rifle. From barrel and stock to optics and accessories, they dive into the reasoning behind each component—creating a lightweight, versatile setup built to go anywhere and perform in the field.

Phil Hayes is the founder and owner of Wilderness Lite LLC, makers of ultralight, packable float tubes. In this episode, we talk about how he keeps himself in shape at an older age, how he started his company to fill a void in the market for ultralight tubes, the specs of his tubes, how he keeps them light but durable, the benefits of using a float tube to access inaccessible places, where to find fish in alpine lakes, how to approach fish in a tube, and much more.

In dieser Folge reden wir über das Phänomen der sogenannten "Post-Trail-Depressionen". Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um klinisch diagnostizierte Depressionen, sondern vielmehr eher um eine Traurigkeit und Rastlosigkeit, wenn man von seinen Outdoor-Abenteuern wieder nach Hause kommt. Selbstverständlich haben wir auch wieder ein paar spannende Outdoor-News, wie z. B. einen neuen ALUULA-Rucksack, und Kommentare im Gepäck.Im Hauptteil der Folge schauen wir uns dann genau an: Was sind "Post-Trail-Depressionen" und weshalb genau entstehen sie? Hier geht es vor allem um den starken Kontrast, nämlich dass man Tage oder auch monatelang draußen aktiv war und dann wahrscheinlich wieder monatelang mindestens acht Stunden am Tag meist nur sitztend verbringt.Wir beschreiben aber nicht einfach nur das Problem, sondern diskutieren auch interessante Lösungsansätze. Denn es gibt hier verschiedene Ideen, wie man dieses Phänomen zumindest stark reduzieren kann. Natürlich sind diese Tipps und Tricks einfacher gesagt als getan, dennoch ist es sicherlich hilfreich, ein kleines Toolkit zur Hand zu haben, um seine Rückkehr und dann eben auch die restliche Zeit seines Lebens ohne große Touren, spaßig zu gestalten.Wenn ihr noch weitere Tipps habt, wie ihr mit "Post-Trail-Depressionen" umgeht, dann schreibt uns das gerne in die Kommentare.

In dieser Folge geht es dann um die Geschichten vom GR221, auch bekannt als die Route der Trockensteinmauer. Auch wenn der Name sich vielleicht erst mal nicht so super spannend anhört, hat es der Trail in sich. Aus Naturschutzgründen eignet sich der Trail eher als Hüttentour. Landschaftlich ist es unfassbar schön, mit toller bergiger Landschaft, kleinen süßen Dörfern am Wegesrand und fast ständigem Blick aufs Mittelmeer. Aber natürlich hat auch dieser Weg seine Tücken und Herausforderungen. Über all das und noch viel mehr reden wir in dieser Folge. Falls ihr noch Fragen zum Trail oder zur Logistik habt oder falls ihr selbst schon den GR221 gelaufen seid, dann schreibt es uns in die Kommentare.

Is an ultralight backpacking stove really lighter when you factor in the extra fuel it burns? In this video, I put the MSR Pocket Rocket 2 head-to-head against the MSR WindBurner to find out. I ran extensive lab tests, measured fuel efficiency, compared total system weights, and looked at real-world packability to help you decide which stove is best for your backcountry hunts and backpacking trips. Whether you're a hunter shaving ounces for a goat hunt, or a backpacker planning a 10-day alpine trip, this review gives you the data and context you need to make the right call.

In dieser Folge sprechen wir über ein sehr heikles Thema: warum Menschen ihren Trail abbrechen. Was sind die Ursachen und wie geht man damit um? Bei manchen großen Thru-Hikes gibt es Abbruchquoten von über 50%. Ein Abbruch wird häufig als klägliches Scheitern wahrgenommen. Aber lasst euch gesagt sein: Das ist es auf keinen Fall. Vor allem dann nicht, wenn die Gesundheit im Vordergrund steht.Natürlich gibt es noch zahlreiche andere Gründe, warum man eine Tour abbricht. Darüber und über noch viel mehr diskutieren wir in dieser Folge. Habt ihr schon mal eine Tour abgebrochen? Wenn ja, warum? Und wie habt ihr euch gefühlt?

Brady sits down with Danny Barreto of Airlock Industries to dig into what makes the Zero Gravity suppressors such a standout for hunters—especially when ounces, durability, and real-world performance all matter. Plus, the backstory on how he helped Brady rethink using a suppressor for hunting.They break down Airlock's engineering-first design philosophy—more time spent in development and testing, less time chasing flashy marketing hype—and what that means for backcountry hunters. From rifle setup and hearing protection to practical field considerations, this episode covers how to think about suppression as part of a complete hunting system. And Brady gets to the big question: why does Airlock seem to be everywhere so fast? If you've been curious about going suppressed for hunting (or you already do and want to nerd out on the why), this one's for you.Learn more about GOHUNT.Follow Brady on Instagram.Follow GOHUNT on Social Media:InstagramYouTube - Podcast ChannelYouTube - Main ChannelFacebook

Trend odelżania sprzętu już bardzo mocno wszedł w outdoor - czy to za sprawą lepszych i bardziej dostępnych technologii, czy też po prostu bardziej przemyślanego pakowania się i nie zabierania ze sobą rzeczy, bo "a nuż się przydadzą". Ale w odelżaniu sprzętu można pójść za daleko, kiedy sprzęt przestaje być funkcjonalny, bezpieczny lub sprawia dyskomfort.Dlatego wyrzucając wszystko z plecaka warto sobie zadać pytanie, czy to jeszcze ultralight, czy może już... stupidlight.***

Are you a bigger guy looking for the best ultralight sleeping pad that won't bottom out on rocky ground or cold nights? In this in-depth comparison, I put the Thermarest NeoAir Xlite NXT and the Big Agnes Zoom UL head-to-head to find out which one truly delivers for tall and heavy hunters and backpackers. This review goes beyond marketing fluff. I field-tested both pads in real backcountry conditions, evaluated their warmth, comfort, durability, and packability, and broke down the specs in a way that actually matters when you're over 6 feet tall and 200+ pounds. If you're tired of vague reviews and want real answers from a mindful, no-BS perspective—this one's for you. 0:00 – Intro 2:28 – Testing Protocol 3:17 – Spec Comparison Table 8:03 – Mindful Hunter Outfitting 8:51 – In-field Testing Footage 13:15 – Final Thoughts & Recommendations   Jay Nichol jay@mindfulhunter.com https://www.mindful-reviews.com/ https://www.mindfulhunter.com/   Forged In The Backcountry https://forgedinthebackcountry.com/   Merch https://www.mindfulhunter.com/shop   Newsletter https://www.mindfulhunter.com/contact   IG https://www.instagram.com/mindful_hunter/   Podcast https://www.mindfulhunter.com/podcast   Free Backcountry Nutrition Guide https://www.mindfulhunter.com/tools    

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Alan Dixon, better known in the backpacking world as Adventure Alan. Alan is a literal rocket scientist, a lifelong adventure junkie, and a foundational figure in the early days of ultralight backpacking, having co-founded Backpacking Light.  Alan shares some jaw dropping stories from his many routes, including a near-death experience in the Tetons, his philosophy for developing routes—most notably his popular Wind River High Route, the South Sierra High Route, and the Escalante Overland Route. We dig into how he's managed to bring his base weight down to as low as 2.4 lb., the small luxuries he now allows himself, some of his favorite cottage brands, and his overarching gear philosophies. We also talk about why he follows a ketogenic diet and how he maintains it on trail, his adventures with his wife of more than 20 years, and much more. We wrap the show with the triple crown of gifts for backpackers ($75 or less), a hill that we're willing to die on that everyone else thinks is ridiculous, some new AT stamps that have been out for a long time, and I talk fast.  Gossamer Gear: Check out the Type II collection at gossamergear.com.  [divider] Interview with Alan Dixon Adventure Alan Website Time stamps & Questions 00:02:00 - Reminders: Apply to vlog or blog for the Trek, apply to be a Trail Correspondent, subscribe to The Trek's Youtube, and listen to our episodes ad-free on Patreon! 00:06:49 - Introducing Alan 00:07:30 - So you're a rocket scientist? 00:10:55 - What did you do for the EPA? 00:17:13 - What are the top sources for toxicity in food? 00:23:00 - Are there any chemicals in the backpacking world you're skeptical of? 00:25:06 - What was your earliest mountaineering experience? 00:26:40 - Discussion about the current state of ultralight 00:29:45 - What ultralight products do you get? 00:31:40 - How did you get to a baseweight under 5 pounds? 00:39:30 - Do you recommend tracking your sleep? 00:44:55 - Why do you follow a keto diet? 00:49:52 - How do you maintain a keto diet on trail? 00;53:30 - Tell us about the early days of ultralight 00:58:50 - Why did you want to spread the gospel of ultralight? 01:03:20 - Discussion about the fiddle-factor 01:09:00 - What's your standard gear list now? 01:10:47 - Do you have practical tips for reducing fiddle time? 01:13:07 - Tell us about your trip in the Wind River Range 01:19:00 - Do you have a luxury item today? 01:20:04 - Tell us about selling your website 01:21:55 - What goes into designing a high route? 01:24:40 - Sell us on the Adventure Alan Wind River High Route 01:28:30 - Do you consider high routes to be more of a physical or intellectual challenge? 01:32:05 - Discussion about anxiety while hiking 01:34:45 - Tell us about adventuring with your wife 01:39:09 - Do you have any general marriage advice? 01:42:10 - How do you maintain your fitness into your 60s? 01:46:40 - Discussion about the definition of success 01:51:55 - What's something novel that you're excited about right now? 01:54:49 - Tell us about the Southern Sierra High Route 01:59:20 - Define "it goes" 02:00:05 - Tell us about the Escalante Overland Route 02:06:04 - Are you fully retired now? 02:07:00 - Discussion about fitness and training 02:09:50 - Tell us about the Southern Patagonia Ice Shelf 02:19:00 - Are you able to enjoy a regular trail? 02:22:10 - Tell us your near death experience in the Tetons 02:35:45 - Are you still making content?

What if you could tour with just what fits in a single dry bag? No panniers. Just the essentials. On this episode, we take this as a challenge - borrowing from the ultralight backpacking folks, we cut off our toothbrush handles and weigh every gram for the ultralight bikepacking challenge! "What if you could tour with just what fits in your handlebar bag? No panniers. No rack. Just the essentials." Why: curiosity, simplicity, nimble handling, testing limits for overnighters or credit card touring. Rules: one mid-size drybag (say 10–12L). No extra frame or seat bags. Trip assumptions: 1–2 nights, shoulder season, mild weather but possible cool nights. Riding style: paved/mixed surfaces, moderate daily mileage. Shelter Options to debate: Tarp + bivy sack (light, cheap, minimal bug protection). Minimal trekking pole tarp (if you carry a pole or can use the bike). Emergency bivy + bug net (super small but spartan). UL single-wall tent (if you can compress to fit — ~1lb tents exist). Hammock Where I land: Shelter Zpacks Hexamid Pocket Tarp 5.2 oz Dyneema, no floor; packs to fist size Groundsheet Polycryo sheet (cut to size) 1.5 oz Cheap and super compact Bug Net Sea to Summit Nano Pyramid (solo) 2.9 oz Optional if mosquitoes likely Stakes 6 titanium shepherd hooks 2 oz Can share with tarp Guyline 2 mm reflective cord 1 oz Multipurpose (also for repairs) Total Shelter Weight: ~12 oz (340 g) Sleep Kit Pad: short closed-cell foam (Z-lite cut down) vs ultralight inflatable (NeoAir Uberlite). Quilt: 40°F down quilt packs to a grapefruit. Sleep Clothing layering: puffy jacket + base layers to extend quilt rating. pillow (there are some ultralight inflatables too) Where I land: Sleep Pad Therm-a-Rest NeoAir UberLite (small) 6 oz Packs smaller than a soda can Quilt Enlightened Equipment Enigma 40°F 13 oz Compresses to a grapefruit Pillow Exped Air UL pillow (small) 1.6 oz Optional luxury Sleep Clothes Lightweight merino top + boxer briefs 6 oz Doubles as camp wear Total Sleep Weight: ~27 oz (765 g) Cooking vs. No-Cook No-cook: bars, wraps, cold soak jar. Minimal cook: Esbit/solid fuel stove + titanium mug. Coffee strategy: instant packets vs small UL brewer. Space/weight trade-off: ditch cook kit for luxury (camera, extra clothes). Where I land: Cold Soak System Plastic PB jar 2oz Utensil Long Ti spoon 0.5 oz Mug (if separate) MSR Titan 2.4 oz Food for 2 days Wraps, instant oatmeal, nuts, bars, jerky, instant coffee ~24 oz Water 1 L Smartwater bottle (frame-mounted) Total Cooking/Food Weight (excluding water): ~29 oz (820 g) Clothing & Tools No change of clothes on this one… one base layer, puffy jacket layer. Rain shell = big payoff for little space. Simple wool hat Micro tool kit: multi-tool, chain link, tiny pump, patch kit instead of spare tube. hygiene: Dr Bronner's in smallest travel bottle, small camp towel, travel toothbrush. Where I land: Rain Shell Patagonia Houdini or OR Helium 6 oz Ultralight but reliable Insulation Layer Montbell Plasma 1000 puffy 5 oz Packs to palm size Extra Base Layer / socks Wool top + socks 5 oz For camp Toiletries Toothbrush, mini paste, Bronner's, wet wipes 3 oz Minimalist hygiene Headlamp Nitecore NU25 1 oz USB rechargeable Total Clothing/Personal Weight: ~20 oz (570 g) Multitool Lezyne RAP II-12 3 oz Compact essentials Mini Pump Lezyne Pocket Drive 3 oz Mount to frame if possible Chain link / tape / zip ties / patch kit Small zip bag 1 oz Field repairs Phone + powerbank 10 000 mAh Anker 6 oz Also powers headlamp Map / ID / Credit Card — negligible "Ultralight credit card touring" insurance Total Tools/Misc Weight: ~13 oz (370 g) Packing Tetris Bottom: sleep system (quilt/compressed pad). Middle: shelter/tarp. Top: food/clothing. Outside: light rain shell/camp shoes? Safety & Bail Out Options Emergency bail plan: credit card, rideshare, motel. Weather veto: if forecast turns ugly, change trip. My Packed Total Category Weight Shelter 12 oz Sleep 27 oz Cooking/Food 29 oz Clothing/Personal 20 oz Tools/Misc 13 oz Total ~6.31 lb (2.86 kg) inside dry bag Conclusion Who this works for: weekenders, credit card tourists, fair-weather minimalists. Who it doesn't: long winter trips, remote routes with no services, the comfort-oriented The psychological side of going this minimal: what you gain (freedom, simplicity) vs. what you lose (comfort, margin).

Ultralight, All Heart: Adirondack Pack Canoes by HornbeckGuest: Josh Trombley, head of Hornbeck BoatsTopic: The Adirondack pack canoe—past, present, and why it changes how (and how often) people get on the water.Hornbeck Boats began in the 1970s with founder Pete Hornbeck, a paddler-artist who revived the Adirondack tradition of pack boats—open, canoe-shaped craft paddled with a double-blade. Pete's minimalist ethos (light, durable, no unnecessary weight) and his embrace of Kevlar created boats that many paddlers—especially solo and older paddlers—could lift, carry, and launch on their own.Josh shares:The origin story (from fiberglass kayaks to Kevlar pack boats)What makes a Hornbeck unique (lightweight performance, “patina of use,” red stripe lore)Who buys them (a surprising number of women, Boundary Waters travelers, and—newly—duck hunters)The demo pond, pandemic pivots, and the move to Hornbeck Midwest (Minnesota)The creative legacy of Pete & Anne Hornbeck—and a “museum of failure” that led to better boatsA favorite Adirondack spot: 13th Lake in North RiverWhy it matters: a Hornbeck often means more days on the water—and the independence to go where motors don't.Learn more: hornbeckboats.com • adktaste.co/talks043Love the show? Rate & review us—it helps other Adirondack lovers find us to discover more ADK insights.Subscribe and never miss our insider stories about the best people, places, and history of the Adirondacks.Share this episode with someone who loves history, travel, or the Adirondack Park.

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Durston, founder and lead designer of Durston Gear, to dive deep into the world of ultralight shelters, backcountry design, and the future of small gear companies taking on the giants. We talk about Dan's journey from long-distance thru-hikes like the Pacific Crest Trail and Great Divide Trail, to daydreaming gear ideas in the wilderness, to accidentally founding one of the most respected ultralight gear brands today. This conversation goes beyond shelters—it's about innovation, passion-driven design, and how democratized manufacturing has opened the door for boutique companies to challenge industry leaders.

In this episode, we discuss how to design scalable, evidence-informed first aid kits for backcountry travel. Grounded in the principles of context, consequence, and capability, he outlines three modular kit configurations - Overnight, Weekend, and Weeklong/Expedition - and explains their medical rationale, typical use cases, and practical contents. Listeners will learn how to match kit design to trip demands, avoid common planning mistakes, and implement a reliable maintenance protocol.

In this Field Notes episode, Ryan Jordan explores what happens when wilderness minimalism reaches its limits. Through real-world examples and the lenses of physiology, psychology, and Stoic philosophy, we examine how stripped-down gear systems perform under stress — and how they fail. We'll look at five high-risk scenarios, lessons from Epictetus and Seneca, and why both lightness and resilience should guide our backcountry decisions.

In this Field Notes (shorts) episode, host Ryan Jordan challenges a widely held ultralight backpacking belief: that camp chairs are a luxury. Drawing on personal experience, recovery science, and biomechanical insights, Ryan explores how sitting well in the backcountry isn't just about comfort - it's about physiological and cognitive recovery. You'll learn why your posture at rest impacts your blood flow, muscle recovery, decision-making, and nervous system tone - and how a simple camp chair might be one of the most overlooked performance tools in your pack. We'll also unpack the baggage around the word luxury, and reframe gear decisions through the lens of function, not dogma. If you've ever questioned whether a chair belongs in your kit, or if you're curious how small decisions impact long-term performance in the backcountry, this episode offers a fresh, data-informed perspective. Takeaway: Recovery isn't passive. It's a skill - and how you sit at camp might matter more than you think. To view the shownotes for this episode of the Backpacking Light Podcast, click here.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Austen McDaniel, known on trail as PI. If that name sounds familiar, it's because we've been reading it off at the end of every episode for years, as Austen is one of our Chuck Norris Award-winning Patreon supporters.  But in addition to being a longtime patron, Austen is also one hell of a backpacker, having completed the Triple Crown in three consecutive years. He approached his first thru-hike as prepared as anyone we've ever talked to, hitting the Appalachian Trail with a six-pound base weight after years of fine-tuning his setup on various shakedown hikes. He walks us through how he's managed to shave additional ounces and grams off his pack, shares some fun ultralight hacks, and offers tips for making cold soaking suck less. Of course, we also dive deep into his three thru-hikes.  Beyond hiking, Austen gives us a glimpse into his life as a professional tennis instructor, if he's seducing moms at the country club, and how he managed to squeeze in some disc golf in various trail towns during his CDT trek.  We wrap the show with news of an massive new FKT on New Zealand's Te Araroa, a breakdown of just how much Irish heritage runs through our DNA, including some truly deranged family tree math from Chaunce, the triple crown of food combinations, and possibly the greatest limerick in the history of the written language.
