About Me Scoutmaster - with long history of camping, hiking and backpacking since the 1970's. Focus on ultralight is recent - loads of gear - not all really ultra-lightweight... I tend to trade a bit more weight for comfort. As a Scoutmaster I often need to carry extra (just in case) safety gear too...

Working it down though...

Yes grilliput weight is too much - I had held one (unassembled) in my hand ages ago and immediately concluded (as with many things) that it wasn't a good trade-off.
