Simple solo kitchen. 600 ml titanium mug Small cat food can alcohol stove Aluminum foil windscreen Aluminum pie pan lid Lexan spoon Plastic and silicon collapsible cup Bic mini lighter Foam cozy Stuff sack Total: 6.14 ounces This is a pretty nice kitchen when I'm cooking only for myself and using carefully measured home-prepared meals.

New materials for new gear! Thanks @ripstopbytheroll ! #backpacking #gear #ultralightbackpacking #wildernesstravel #simplegear #makeitsimplegear

The Mark II is a beaut. Fewer seams and no rear mesh pocket cut over an ounce of weight, but those side pockets ended up a little tight. 20" (+8" collar) x 10" x 7" Volume 23 liters Two 6" x 8" mesh side pockets 7.0 oz. I really like the design of this one, but the contrast stitching won't happen again. The side pockets will be bigger next time, too. With that improvement, this could be the pack I take for 3-4 day trips. Or longer! #backpacking #ultralightbackpacking #gear #wildernesstravel #simplegear

At the infamous #EliotCreek Crossing at #MtHood on the #TimberlineTrail. September 2015 #backpacking #ultralightbackpacking #wildernesstravel #simplegear

Here's the stuffed quilt with a #PBR for scale. #backpacking #ultralightbackpacking #gear #wildernesstravel #simplegear #getyourownbeer

This is the quilt that went with me around #MtHood on the #TimberlineTrail in September 2015. 70" x 45" at the shoulder Primaloft insulation 6.5" x 12" stuffed 21.7 oz. Wearing my down jacket with this quilt, I was more than toasty. Both the performance and weight were pleasing. Even so, improvements are on the way! #backpacking #ultralightbackpacking#gear #numbers #wildernesstravel #simplegear
