These guys seem to have some nice kit.http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk
Any experiences ?
I've had quite a few bit and pieces from them over the past few years. Quick service and, so far, can't fault them.
Not for tents and the like - I like to see those pitched first.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Ive gone with:
Terra Nova Photon - 774g
Thermarest Neoair Xlite - 130g
PHD Minim Ultra Down - 330g
MSR Micro Rocket - 73g
MSR Titan Kettle - 130g (less the lid)
Total of above is 1514g. With the weight of the sac, food, bottle of water and other stuff, Im hoping for under 3kg
I'm not sure I've got the patience to wait for that to boil Matt.
With the windshield and floor reflector in place, and above freezing, it is not slow....
Im hoping for under 3kg
Well, your wallet will certainly be lighter too ๐
Good choices as they say in the nice restaurants.
The Laser will be more than that ready to roll. You'll also probably want to replace the toothpicks with decent Ti pegs plus a couple of Y pegs for the main guys. I use 2 toothpicks for the inner ends, 6 Ti wire pegs for the rest and 2 Y pegs for the main end guys plus 2 spare Y pegs for the hoop guys which I rarely use. The toothpicks pull out if you even just blow on the tent.
Go careful with your sack choice, waterproofs etc and don't carry stuff 'just in case'. Be ruthless but sensible. E.g. I did a solo continuous Munro round and carried the extra weight of a SPOT - just in case....
Matt - Perhaps give 1 a try in due course.
Covert - It is a bit scary to think I could have bought a car !
Boblo - Yeah, you just dont know uhow its going to feel until you've ran with it for a few hours. Ive ordered a Montane Ultra 22 to see how it is for size / fit. It seems about right on paper and it can go back if i dont like the look of it.
