I guess it depends where you hang out online and where you ride.

Online I mostly see folks doing some form of lightweight touring. Not sure how to define UL vs. just light/minimal.

On tour I have run into others doing the same thing, but I mostly stay on remote singletrack or less used forest service roads so I don't meet a ton of people of any type.

Because I live in a popular location for fully loaded touring riders I see plenty of their rigs pass me by everyday [at least in the summer], but I have no desire to load my bike up like that and spend my time doing that style of touring any more.
Nice, but what do you eat for 5-7 days and where do you store it? I imagine that sort of riding will require a lot of calories. For 5 days X3 that equals 15 meals, 7 days add 6 more for 21 meals. I'm honestly curious because I've packed multi day trips and know what 21 dehydrated meals would look like.
