Any ultralight backpackers out there?

Sadly, my ultralight camping days are over, unless I don't care about sleep. With my apnea, I'd have to lug along a CPAP machine of some sort, just to keep breathing all night. Lightest one I've seen weighs more than some of your packs...

Why not hire a Sherpa or two?

Hmmm...I wonder if my girlfriend would let me hire a couple of 20-something cuties to haul our gear for us...

...they would, of course, be required to hike in mini-kilts, er skirts.

I believe they're called "Sherpettes"
