I go ultralite because of heart disease. But to hear them talk about their centuries, you would think they were top athletes, in which case, why the panic attack over carrying a few extra pounds. They seem to be half the weight, half the age, but half the mule.
Once something gets it's own category, forums, and name, it's sorta a cult. I don't believe in Ultralight, or Loaded, or whatever. I just carry what I need, with full knowledge of how going light can have a huge impact on my experience. But so can not having the necessary spares. It's an analysis, not a slogan.
