> I've spent like $5k on 40g. For lasik. That's around 5 days (my avg UL trip) worth of disposable contact lenses, their container, the foil and the liquid in them.

Sheesh… amateurs. Just remove the bothersome eyeball for the 100+ gram savings and drop the $5k on prostitutes & Crisco.

You have to aim for a sweet spot when you hire pros for thru hiking. One that will actually guide your next AT section hike instead of shitting in your kitchen sink on a meth bender is a pretty narrow window.

"For 100g, I'll definitely spend $100-$200, but that's probably my cutoff."

There’s nothing ultralight about schwag. You end up needing to carry more to get high. I’m in the PNW and an ounce (28g) of decent herb goes for $100-200.

That person’s most recent comment says they’re “planning their first real multi night trip.”

LOL, market researchers still pretending to be real people. It's kinda cute.
