I remember catching some grief from one BF member at the time about my SUL methods, despite it being a clear cut example of how to go minimalist. -and very similar to others current assorted extreme minimalist setups of dog tarps and bivy bags.
And to think, if i chose a carbon bike, i would have had the weight allowance for a dutch oven, cutoffs and spare media device!
Can you point to anyone here who uses dog tarps and extremist measures?
Asana pushes the limits, he also races, which is a different nut altogether.
If you don't dig what's going on here, it's cool to disagree, but we get it by now, in your vast experience (which i like reading about for the most part) youve explored this rabbit hole and have concluded its for fools. All good. But come on man. The negative nancy **** is getting stale.
If I lost 30 pounds I could carry the big screen TV. If I lost 30 pounds and rode carbon fixed gear with a bamboo handle bar and no brakes I could bring the generator with me to power everything.
