Join us as Reuben breaks down his ultralight backpacking kit — a 4.5 lb base weight system he’s refined over years of experience and over 100 nights a year sleeping under the stars around the world. From alpine treks to remote jungles, this minimalist setup proves that you don’t need a heavy pack to thrive outdoors.

What does he do about critters? No tent or bug net sounds scary.

You need to be in a dry climate to not need bug protection. Where there are bugs, either a mosquito net tent (example: Sea to Summit Nano Mosquito Net) or a bug bivvy (example: Borah Bug Bivy).

Thank you. I don't mind being hot, cold, or damp but I can't stand bugs on me.

There are a lot of good lightweight tents as well. If you want to sleep well and don't like bugs, a tent is a better option.

I've only ever gone car camping, but this stuff appeals to me. Thank you.
