Adventure Alan’s Super Ultralight Fastpacking Gear List
For challenging, high-mileage adventures, we recommend the following six pound super ultralight fastpacking gear list. This kit is grounded in decades of super ultralight experience, and has been optimized for practicality, functionality, and minimalism. You’ll hike faster and farther with a purpose-driven 6 lb super ultralight kit, and without sacrificing warmth, comfort, or functionality.
