A common sense approach to gear weight

"Dan Becker
In this video I discuss ultralight backpacking, ultralight gear, and lightweight gear and why I decided not to care as much about any of the weight any longer when I backpack"
Found this on YouTube, and thought it was worth sharing.
Cheers,
Moh.

I thought this was a "tramping" forum.
Whats all this Hiking stuff?
Some "interesting" advice from the Auckland tramping club
https://www.aucktramping.org.nz/index.php/about-tramping/uncle-wacko-s-gear
Uncle Wacko seems to suffer from TDS too. Tramping is just soo much better without the politics.
No, Uncle Wacko mentions him. I had a look at these articles. A politicised tramping club. Must be very exclusive.
Uncle Wacko seems to have felt it necessary to reference Trump in his opinionated advice column, I guess as some sort of attempt at humour or to align himself with *his* audience.
Berend brought this up to mention that tramping is better without politics, on a tramping forum, thus negating his own recommendation.
:)
Politics aside, Uncle Wacko has some incorrect information on materials used in some tents.
Some of my most fun tramps have involved arguing about politics.....
Besides, I tend to find that for some reason, clubs I have been a member of tend to attract those of the same liberal leanings as myself.
But it really wouldnt bother me either way, in reality.
