But I think the concept of light touring benefit will benefit those whose base touring weight is hovering around 30 to 80lbs where substantial weight savings can be made.
Interesting, this is making me feel like a roadie, only talking about pounds instead of grams.
I think I will only make changes that might also benefit comfort and convenience as well as weight. Perhaps a hammock is more comfortable than a tent for solo camping...that sort of decision. It will give me something to obsess about over the winter.
