Awesome, but insane. Have you done this? Can you really get by for the whole night with a 3-pound pack? Seriously? I mean, the tent alone is gonna weigh a few pounds, not to mention even the lightest weight foods. That said, this sounds awesome.

Veddy interesting. This sounds insane. Awesome, but insane. Have you done this? Can you really get by for the whole night with a 3-pound pack? Seriously?
