There’s a thing called going too far, and not leaving a margin for error.
They’re usually highlighted in the coroner’s report. That's what the extremists do. They take nothing for backup, zero. They calculate their food and water to the last sip or calorie. They won't take a stove, just food that can be eaten cold. No fire starter other than matches or a single lighter. No extra dry clothes. The goal isn't the hike or the scenery. It's all the game of getting it as light as possible. No thanks.

Ultra Light is a point when your gear is no longer functional.
When the tailgate drops the BS stops.

A pebble and maybe some moccasins.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

The "Surviving a Cold Wet Night" thread has tips and insight on how ultra light I'm willing to go. Went to Arctic Survival School at Eielson AFB, AK when it was -42* (at that temp, *F and *C are the same). We had a minimalist kit, but the necessary items were there. Too little is too little. BTDT
