What's in my Pack?! Winter Mountaineering & Ultralight Wild Camping Gear Breakdown

Our first wild camping gear breakdown for full winter mountaineering conditions! The final total weight listed in the video is based on the kit list Ben used the most in full snowy winter conditions in the Scottish Highlands. It's not the heaviest, nor the lightest and would not be for the most technical routes or ice climbing.

Remember, ultralight is a mindset and there's a difference between going lightweight and stupid lightweight. It's about taking what you need and nothing more, not cutting weight on critical gear. We always assess the conditions before heading out and make sure we have the right kit to complete our route safely and comfortably. We always have a back up plan and bail out options. Turning around is a skill not a failure.

Lightest winter weight: 6kg 371g / 14.04 lbs
Heaviest winter weight: 7kg 540g / 16.62 lbs

We've listed everything out below too in case you missed it and for our American pals, converted the gram weight to pounds.
