This was my first trip where I intentionally packed SUL--in the past I have taken less than 5lbs, but a lot of those trips were just recklessness of youth, i.e. only taking a small blanket and a can of beans. My recent overnight backpacking trip in Spain was probably SUL, but I did not bother to weigh everything or make a gear list as it was a last minute trip.
Speaking of that Spain trip, I will also post more pictures of that trip as soon as I get them back from my friend Manolo that went with me. What a beautiful spot I was lucky enough to experience, and I can't wait to see the pictures.
In the future I also plan on writing a post explaining the factors that I consider when I chose to backpack SUL, UL, or light weight. I doubt I will ever go back to traditional backpacking, which is a base weight over 20lbs or about 9kg.
Okay, that's it for now, more on the way soon. In the meantime, here are a few random pictures (big thanks to Johan for these and all his wonderful photography when we go out together) from this past year:
