I'm an ultralighter. Trust me, I have the bug pretty bad on gear.

Maybe we won't get along... I went on a trip with an ultralighter and have a big ass stanley thermos because I like hot tea at lunch. She was so offended at the "unnecessary" weight.

She didn't get any of my tea.

She doesn't know the number one rule of Ultralighting. Love the Sherpa. If someone is going to carry tea, you can be super thankful that they carried tea even though you wouldn't have. If someone wants to bring a 6 pack in the pack, even though Rumpleminze is my drink of choice for back packing, then you go ahead and swap a beer for some liquor later. That's just crazy. Lady ended up with no tea and a worse hike.

Ok, yeah. We'll get along.
