Is ultralight actually more expensive than other types of backpacking?

    Agreed, and glad to hear ultralight helped you enjoy your trips more. What resources did you find helpful in lightening up?

      I lurked the ultralight subreddit to help me with mindset and brands to look for. My first trip i had like 2 or 3 knives, a saw and a hatchet but didnt even have a fire. My best resource was buying my own scale and weighing all my gear and putting it into a spreadsheet. Then i could plan trips and get a good idea for weight just using the spread sheet to add up my estimated weight.
