Thread: Ultralight Hunting Gear List

Enlightened Equipment makes excellent quilts, I don't have one myself but I've seen a few.

Im not sure if this is in the thread yet, but a very cheap and lightweight fly /tarp can be made from window insulator film and duct tape.

The first thing I would like to make lighter is my rifle. It is bloody heavy.

Well mate, follow my multi-day example and you’ve got a 200g weight saving right there.

Jeez, I did the whole of Aussie on two pairs of y-fronts!

Any recommendations on lightweight insulated sleeping mats for cold conditions?

What he said The xtherm is awesome!! If you want something slightly lighter the xlite.

Thermarest XTherm if you want the warmest sleeping mat to weight ratio you can get with a 6.9 R-Value, or the slightly lighter option of Thermarest NeoAir XLite with 4.2 R-Value.

What do you use for carrying water @burtonator? Bottle or bladder?

Also, why do people have titanium utensils? A plastic spork is lighter again and does the job just fine...what am I missing?

I use those Swedish plastic sporks, and carry a 1.5L plastic water bottle. Bottle weighs nothing, and I like the unrestricted flow.

I have broken a couple of the plastic sporks which is why I use titanium now

I also use water pouches instead of bottles. You can squeeze any air out, fold it and the remaining water doesn't slop about when on the move.
