After my first ever backpacking trip i switched immediately. Most people i know who have gotten into UL started switching using cheap alternatives and realize they break and fail sometimes in the field and slowly as money is available switch to UL gear which does tend to be more expensive but you also don't need as much. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't already. Great topic and article! I really can’t imagine not flashpacking. After my first ever backpacking trip i switched immediately.

Actually lots of people are taking this idea outside of the backcountry and traveling the world with little more than a day pack. I can travel light, but with just a day pack? I don't know. That's hardcore! I’ve never heard of flashpacking before, but I guess it totally makes sense.

You obviously wrote about a topic of which you have little to no experience, otherwise you wouldn't have recommended such non-UL gear choices. UL is also a lot more about simplifying gear, and making up for it with skills.
