No stupid questions....my pack weight for a 3 season 3 day trip is around 19 pounds- with food, without water. I hang my food, bear canister used only when required by Park. I use a hammock (with bug net and fly) that weighs under 2 pounds, 30 degree Down bag, 1.5 pounds, 3700ci internal frame pack, 3.5 pounds.

Once you have the 'big three'- pack, tent, sleeping bag under 10 pounds, the rest is gravy. I carry a real first aid kit, 10+ essentials, and use a canister stove and water filter. I carry a pillow, camp sandals and plenty of warm clothes- as needed. I have never felt unprepared for conditions.

I choose my gear based on weight, utility and durability.
I try to get multiple uses out of each piece of gear.

I don't consider myself Ultralight-I don't like to rough it that bad!
