▲ 5 r/Ultralight
Hey folks, looking for a shakedown of my pack for Rae Lakes Loop in late May (planning Memorial Day week, either 3 nights/4 days or 4 nights/5 days).
Lighterpack: https://lighterpack.com/r/84rll6
Base weight: 12.66 lb
Trip context:
- Rae Lakes Loop (High Sierra)
- Late May (expect cold nights, possible snow patches depending on year)
- Solo
Main questions / concerns:
- I feel like I’m overpacking clothing, especially sleep system redundancy
- Space in my 62L is getting tight, especially with bear canister
- Wondering if my “clean sleep clothes” approach is worth the weight
Non-negotiables:
- I would really like to have a dedicated clean sleep layer
Right now I’ve got a Smartwool thermal 250 base layer set as my sleep set, but it feels like an obvious weight target.
Would appreciate any feedback on what you’d cut, consolidate, or rethink - especially clothing system and bear can efficiency.
