Thread: Ultralight Hunting Gear List

What are the sleeping bag models and specs plus a brief review of what conditions you take each in.

I'm due a new one and want to make the right purchase as it's not something I plan on changing frequently

Ditch the pants and go for shorts with thermals could save another 100g there straight away.

Good list though but the options are not cheap for those like me with a minimal budget.

Nice, I try to go as light as possible but I find the number of optics I carry tend to weigh me down lately.
I have been thinking about a lighter pair of boots but its hard to change when I can walk all day in the heavy old meindls. I must try on a pair of those La Sportvia

Have you ever had a tally up of cost of your kit?

Also interested in sleaping bags and mats...due for a new bag and a mat that doesnt take up so much room in my pack (old school budget thermarest self inflating.)

Best thing I ever did. Love them and don't seem to lack any support compared to any of the heavier boots I've had

It costs about a thousand dollars for every kilo you save

The zpacks sleeping bag is a classic sleeping bag -5 bag I use this as my summer bag
The rab is a neutrino pro -14 bag and this is my winter bag and if it’s real
Cold I’ll take my thermal +14 liner

As stated the kit was not just bought all at once. Was added to over time. Makes the bigger purchases a hit better to swallow
Buy once cry once?
I used to run thermals and shorts but I really like pants now

Very nice, I would ditch the sleeping bag liner and pillow too. I just don’t find them necessary, personal preference though to be fair.

I still have my lowa Tibet boots but love the la sportvias
Way lighter and very good support. I only wear the lowas in winter now, a bit more insulation

Haha yea mate. I love me pillow and I find the sleeping bags don’t get smelly if I run a liner also adds a small amount of extra warmth.

Don’t really want to have a Talley up. Might shock me. And the wifey could see how much I’ve spent
I really rate the rab nertrino pro. I had the domex halo before it and for the same weight bag the rab is way better
I found I got cold in the halo.
One of the best purchases was the thermarest xtherm mat. Amazingly warm!! And very light
