Your bottom 3 pieces of gear

“Like I said, had 3 of us plus gear for the hike and the road trip. I think it was the earlest version of mini-vans. Once we started up the foothills to the trail head, not sure we were gonna make it. The last few miles were on gravel roads, and cell phones weren't invented. "Chug" is too powerful for what we had!”

“LMFAO! More like a gurgle maybe?”

“Hello,
I've been perusing this thread and read about Ray Jardine. Explored further and am curious about him. How would you all feel about opening up a new discussion regarding this lightweight concept? I would like to learn more from those who have tried it, liked/disliked it, etc.
What do you all think?”
