Happy February, ultralighters! Here’s a place to catch up and chat and discuss things that might not warrant their own post.

Hello dear ULemmings,...

Happy New Year, ultralighters! Here’s a place to catch up and chat and discuss things that might not warrant their own post. Did you do anything cool or get any nifty gift this holiday? Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions?

The 60.4g one is here. It has a 2.45 inch screen, 1100mah removable battery, has been around for a while, and runs Android 8.1.

flying tomorrow, had to double-check some of these on the tsa.gov whatcanibring website so i thought i’d share:...

Comfortable and safe are vital! Anyone can go out into the mountains with a tiny amount of gear and suffer — you need to be warm, well-fed and ready to deal with safety issues. Ultralight camping should be delightful, not stressful. The challenge is to succeed with only the gear that’s absolutely needed....
