    I hike, and I’ve notice the “ultralight” crowd has more than it’s fair share of gatekeepers and snobs.

    Lighter gear is fantastic, but people take it well past the point of diminishing returns. There are a lot of vocal hikers that spend absurd amounts of money on less practical, ridiculously expensive “ultralight” gear and think anything else is “wrong”.
