    I have to admit I end up taking knives to test, and camera gear and that adds to the load, so I make exceptions in key items:

    1. Pack from https://seekoutside.com/blog/product...utside-brooks/ (now discontinued) It's a "modern" external frame and weighs about 2kg which is amazing considering it is max 120L and can carry heavy loads.
    2. Tent - https://3fulgear.com/product/ultrali...shan2-classic/ I haven't used it much but this thing is super light and small... smaller pack size than a tarp + bivvy bag, but its a full tent. Well reviewed by the ultralight community. You do need trekking poles though, which I use anyway for my poor knees.
    3. Stove - I mostly use alcohol/meths but you have to be patient, use windscreen and not for high altitudes. Trangia clones and a stand + fuel are significantly lighter than most canisters + jetboil type systems.
