Ultralight Backpacking is a style of backpacking where you bring the smallest and lightest supplies needed for a backpack trip. The general weight for an full ultralight pack is less than 20 pounds(Regular packs weigh as much as 70 pounds). This type of hike allows for the hiker to clear more distance because of the amount of weight they shaved off. Most ultralight hikers spend more money than usual to ensure they have the lightest equipment possible. I would not recommend this type of backpacking unless you are an experienced hiker but it is an interesting concept. Happy Hiking!
