A look at my current sub-10 pound 3-Season Ultralight Backpacking Gear List. Printable list at http://www.sintax77.com

In this video we’ll take detailed look at all of the items in my current 3-Season Ultralight Backpacking system load-out. This is the exact same load-out that I used in West Virginia during early October for the Ultralight Backpacking in the Cranberry Wilderness video. On this trip the overnight and morning lows got down as low as the mid-thirties and I made it by using the gear seen. Now, I wouldn’t take this load-out for sustained expected temps in that range, but in a pinch, at least I know I can get by. This is pretty much my go-to backpacking system for everything except for winter, from Tennessee up to Maine.

As seen in the video, I use a hammock camping system, running at 9.5 pounds, but I’ll show you some modifications for ground sleeping as well as warmer weather options to save weight (as low as 7.5 lbs), in both the video as well as my different gear lists, which are available on the Gear Lists page of my website, for those who wish to see specific weights, categories, and item descriptions. Below is a simplified list of the items seen.
