If a bottle of wine and some cheese takes your hike from a 3-star experience to a 5-star experience, you need it.

Boxed wine, mind you. It is still !ultralight after all 😅

Isn’t the whole point of ultralight to shave all the extra weight off your kit so that you can pack some luxuries with you (in your case cast iron pan, in mine, some wine and cheese)

This was my primary device for a couple of years. I didn’t have a phone at all. I could do everything I needed to do. Camera quality was of course terrible, but I had one of those Sony “lens cameras” paired with it, and that worked great.

I even sailed across the Atlantic with the Nexus 7 as my only media device (I packed a Kindle but it died a week in).

That is why I’m considering a foldable now. If only they weren’t so fragile…
