Mountain Hardwear Way2Cool Bandana
Got this to wear when I'm trekking - typically 8~9 hours in the sun. Don't really like sunscreen including the re-applications required.
Definitely does a good job of keeping the sun off my neck & face.
One drawback is when I pull it up to cover up to my nose, the heavy breathing makes it rather hot inside. Would definitely benefit from better ventilation around the mouth & nose areas.

Pretty good for an ultralight

Easy to setup & very light...
I guess there's a price to pay for this - which turns out to be some condensation and don't touch the walls :)
3 days in fall weather (cold night, warm day) with lots of dew coming down - quite a bit of condensation build up - esp in areas I might have touch the outer shell from inside.
But still love the carry weight and decent room inside. More room for gear would

Soto OD-1R Micro Regulator Stove
Everyone knows liquid fuel stoves perform best in the cold - but at the cost of extra weight.
Unless you're going to extreme cold - this stove is just what the chef ordered. Regulator gives it very good cold weather performance, and it also gives it the ability to fine tune your flame.
This is now my standard backpacking stove all year (displacing my crux lite).

Selectively use depending on surface

Hilleberg Unna Footprint
I only carry this footprint when:
1. I know that tent sight is going to be very abrasive or muddy; and/or
2. When weight doesn't matter much
I love my Unna and because of that I like to take care of it. If you are an Unna owner, you likely love your Unna as well. Footprint will help you take care of your love~!

Hilleberg Unna Tent - 1 Person, 4 Season
Hilleberg Unna has become my go to tent for probably 90% of my trips. The only exceptions are when I'm going ultra ultra light (Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1) or going with my wife (Hilleberg Nammatj 2 GT).
Some people complain that there is not a vestibule but I stake out the center ring of the outer enterance and put my gear there.
Typically pitch this so the enterance is opposite wind which facili

msr-carbon-core-stake-kit
Very lightweight & quite sturdy for size.
I'm very consious of minimizing my pack weight, so
I got this to top off my stake collection. Definitely need several stake options depending on weather and where I'll be pitching my tent / tarp.
This is my dry / packed soil option - which is over half of my trips.
For softer soil, I'll typically do a combination of Y or V stakes with a few Ti skewers.
