8 LB Ultralight Setup | 100 Mile Wilderness Full Gear List

My full ultralight backpacking gear list for the 100 Mile Wilderness β€” everything I carried, why I chose it, and how I kept my base weight under 8 pounds without sacrificing comfort or safety. This video breaks down my complete loadout, including my shelter system, sleep setup, cook kit, clothing layers, electronics, and more.

Whether you’re prepping for your own hike through Maine’s remote 100 miles, dialing in a minimalist long-distance kit, or just curious about what it takes to go lightweight in rugged terrain – here is a full breakdown.

    One pair of underwear worn whole trip I am assuming or commando. Two pair or socks total?

    Esbit stoves are just the worse alcohol stoves.

    With alcohol stoves you could even use the alcohol as hand sanitizer.
    They also dont sooth, dont stink, there are versions that burn suprisingly powerful, much cheaper than esbit and not so much plastic garbadge

    I recommed starting with a fancy feast DIY one.

    Pretty fun to built also πŸ™‚

  5. I like your videos. How do I find out the 100 mile trail information
