Already posted in the r/ultralight x-post, but decided to share here too to give a perspective from someone who has done some long distance hiking with lightweight gear.

Few quick things that came to mind:

>30L collapsible ultralight backpack with chest strap - These are great and they barely take up any space. (Weight 8 oz)

Collapsible packs can work well, as long as the straps are wide enough. A proper frameless hiking pack (MLD, Pa'lante, Zimmerbuilt, KS, Atompacks, etc.) would work best at around 10-13oz.

>Inflatable sleeping mat - (weight 8 oz)

Is it insulated?

Gossamer Gear Thinlight would be lighter (2.5oz, 70g), though quite spartan. Can be used as a sitpad too.

-5.5oz

>Tact Bivvy Compact Ultra Lightweight Sleeping Bag - These are amazing. No need to say anything else. (Weight 5 oz)

This one? Prepare for sweaty nights.. It might reflect some of your body warmth back, but being waterproof means that also all moisture will be kept inside the bag. If you're planning to have a tarp, I don't see reason for 100% waterproof bivy bag.

Personally I'd ditch the sweat bag and get a proper quilt instead. A cheap one like Aegismax 'Wind Hard Tiny' (~15oz) or something similar from a more reputable manufacturer. It's heavier, but much more usable and comfortable if you're goin to spend more than one night using it.

+10oz

>Mora stainless steel Companion knife with sheath - (Weight 4 oz)

Personally I'd prefer a 2 oz lighter Opinel No 8.

-2oz

>Survival cord 100' - (Weight 10 oz)

100' of Dyneema cord would weight.. what, 2 oz maybe?

-8oz

>Fire kit with two lighters, small folding knife, Ferro rod, and dryer lint - (Weight 8 oz)

You're already carrying a knife, no need for a folding one. Two BIC minis (1oz), Ferro rod (1oz), dryer lint (1oz)

-5oz

>Ultralight poncho/tarp - (Weight 8 oz)

Many quite like the Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape. At 11oz it's slightly heavier than the unnamed ponho/tarp, but it's a proper shelter. No need for waterproof bivy with this one. Though a bug bivy wouldn't hurt..

+3oz

>Headlamp (with red light capability) with extra batteries - (Weight 6 oz)

Nitecore Tip or NU25 are around 1oz and USB rechargeable. You have a power bank, for sure?

-5oz

>2x P51 Can openers - (Weight 1 oz)

Two..? Ditch one. Even the one won't see too much use as canned food won't be the first thing you want to carry in your pack (heavy and low calory density).

-0.5oz

>Zachary Fowler Survival card - (Weight .5 oz)

Few proper fish hooks would weigh maybe 0.1oz.

-0.4oz

>Plastic Camping spoon/fork combo - (Weight .5 oz)

A titanium spork weighs the same and won't break if you accidentally sit on it.

>Purell - (Weight 8 oz) field sanitation and fire starting

Are you sure you'll need 8oz? Half should be good for a long time, and you could probably find other sources for alcohol before using all.

-4oz

>Ultralight Biofuel stove - (Weight 5 oz) cooking to be done in cans or other salvage

What exactly is this?

>Respirator and extra filters - (Weight 8 oz)

I'm not sure of a scenario where a respirator and extra filters for it make sense. Either the need is well known beforehand (riot, civil unrest), meaning that there's time to source the respirator from a store or leave the scene before one is needed, or it's such an emergency that it won't last so long that extra filters are needed (fire hazard).

Basically, can't see need for an 8oz respirator kit. And I'm saying this as someone who has used a gas mask in real situations (tear gas, both in service and in civilian life), and also improvised protection devices (swimming goggles and a scarf work reasonably well against tear gas). For a fire hazard there are IMO more important ways of preparation than a respirator.

-8oz

>Collapsible trekking poles - It seems lame, but these make the difference between 12-15 mile days and 30-40 mile days. (Weight 14 oz)

A pair of carbon fibre poles are around 10z.

-4oz

---

All in all, potential weight savings of 29.4oz (835g), which would make the GHB a tad over 5lbs. Weight savings could be used for a proper frameless hiking pack that'd be more comfortable when you add the weight of clothes, water, food etc. on top of your "base weight".

I have this $100 40F windhard quilt, it's kinda fragile but overall nice.

UGQ Outdoor has 20F Bandit quilts ready to ship at $205, and they're near impossible to beat for the price. I'd highly recommend reaching out to Paul and Missy to see if they can ship it quickly to you.

Personally I think it's better to spend money once on something quality rather than having to immediately rebuy gear in the near future. I stand by Underground Quilts, since they've been great to me even as I returned and exchanged my previous quilt which was too short. However if you're less constrained financially, you may also want to consider Katabatic. At $350 for a 6' bag, you're paying approximately the cost you would end up spending for this budget bag plus a future made-to-order quilt. I've heard that Katabatic ship within a couple days as well:

Lastly, I personally also enjoy my WindHard quilt from Aliexpress. They're available with Prime shipping for $105 as an ultra-budget option. I've taken it down to freezing with extra layers, and it worked alright. Personally I wouldn't order one over a UGQ Bandit with hindsight, but to each their own.

Used gear is hard to find outside of specialized communities. The Backpackinglight forums used to be the best place for that, but I haven't been there in a long time. The Whiteblaze forums also has a decent trade forum. This site searches some popular forums.

This tent is supposed to be a clone or rebrand of the older REI Halfdome 2. It's already a very good deal, but occasionally it goes on sale, once under $30. I don't need a tent, but I'll get one the next time I see it on sale.

This one is much lighter, although it's a one person tent. I have one on the way. I'm skeptical about the dimensions and weight, but hopefully I'll have experience with it by the end of the week.

Klymit has some very good pads, and they also sell them refurbished on ebay.

If you go ultralight, it usually also means super compact gear too, which means you won't need anything special for a pack. A 40L Coreal pack that sells for $20 on Amazon might be totally sufficient, but buy a pack last so you don't waste money buying a pack that's too big or small. I have a 35L pack for 3 season weekend trips with everything inside the main compartment or pockets with plenty of room to spare, and while I've been at the ultralight thing for years, I'm far from extreme when it comes to ultralight.

People going ultralight often use a specialized backpacking quilt rather than a sleeping bag. The pad provides insulation underneath, so the quilt just cuts that section out. The hood is lost too, so you have to use separate headgear. It may be your most expensive piece of gear, but it's lighter than comparably rated sleeping bags and costs much less. If you get a quilt, make sure it's not the narrower width used for hammocks unless you'll be using a hammock.

I'm tempted to get one of these for warmer weather. It can really save weight by serving as a coat.

For other temperatures, here's two good small companies with budget priced quilts.

If you absolutely must have a sleeping bag, the stuff from Hyke & Bike is a decent value. I have one. The zippers are a little grabby, but that's usually the case with budget gear made in asia. It's much bulkier and heavier than any of my quilts, so I don't use it very often. I think you get a $20 coupon if you sign up to their emails.

Woof, not a lot of good options on Amazon, it seems this [Windhard] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZ5B4GD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sd0DzbVT6XEE1) might be the best option. Could you sell the gift on Raise or something of the sort and buy an HG or EE?

u/ImBrianJ · 1 pointr/Ultralight

This bag seems popular for summer-weight at $105 weighing in at 16oz. It's a imported from China, so expect a bit of a wait (~2 weeks) for delivery. It's a low-end Enlightened Equipment Revelation knock-off - but with sewn-through baffles (ie: it's cheap).

edit: Reading comprehension on Monday is not good. Just saw the -7C requirement. This is not your bag.

u/Kilbourne · 1 pointr/backpacking

I'm seeing it for 105 USD, where is it 75?
