I understand that nobody wants to be a packmule and lug 65pounds into the woods 5-10 miles. But I know I have personally packed 40 + pounds in and it was really no big deal. Now that I have learned a few trick I can get a pack down to 25-30 pounds for a 1-1/2 day trip and it's nice. But when I hear that a 2lb hammock and tarp is heavy it makes me laugh. Sure it would be nice to pop open a pill like George Jetson and have a total sleep system but people are acting like im crazy for thinking a 3lb tarp is accetable. I guess I just dont see a problem with it. All I'm saying is were are not all made of money and cant just buy uber light gear everytime it pops up on the for sale section. So dont jump on a guy when he makes a sleeping bag UQ and it weigs 3lbs and say it's heavy or you should have used down or cuben this or that. If you are worried about 3 extra pounds on your trip drink some strong coffe a few hours before you leave and remember as it goes down the drain that yours smells like everybody elses. -BOB
