Hi Everyone,

Recently got into r/Ultralight . I have already been into backpacking for years. Now most of my gear is ultralight already, Jetboil MicroMo, Nemo Switchback, Big Agnes-Fly Creek HV UL2....etc. My heaviest piece of gear is my bag. I have a Gregory Baltoro-65L. Great pack to get me into backpacking and its a good pack, but its the Cadillac of bags; I don't need a feature rich pack anymore nor 65L of volume.

Some knowledge on where I usually go backpacking. Bay Area mostly Nor-Cal and the Sierras with occasional trips up to Oregon and Washington. Duration is mostly weekends during the school year but I often go on week long trips. I've found some packs I'd be interested in that

Happy Monday everyone,

So long story short my gf is going to be in Cairns for a field quarter from June26 - August 6. Due to all of this free time from Covid-19, I wanted to help my gf stay ultralight during her field quarter. Now there's a couple problems to this, I don't know what the weather is like in Australian during winter/wet season(from a locals perspective). Additionally the syllabus states they must pack all of their gear for the whole duration, meaning during their stays in hostiles and dorms. I have a lot of experience with ultralight backpacking....but in California/Yosemite not Australia. Here is a link to the program if you want to check it out.
