I do double duty with my hand wash station serving as a dish washing station, good for small group 2-3 with minimal dishes etc.

I carry an eco safe tank with footman belt loops mounted on top of tank with leak proof bolts and washers. Than I do not carry a rocket box for it just a strap to carry it with. It is a little less stable when in use but with a little care no problem. loops make it easy to tie in boat.

Yeah, I've never found a direct link that carrying and dealing with more gear/crap equals a more enjoyable trip, as well.

bighorn, I think you get DQ'd for even having hand washing/ dish stations.;)

DQ me if you like, but clean hands for food handling, putting in contacts, clean and sanitized dishes all are easier to have for only an extra 5 #'s

My personal goal for a ultra light trip is to be self supporting (all required equipment) with 150 #'s of gear and food for a 5 day warm weather trip (boat and oars not included).

My 2010 GC trip I launched in my boat (no passengers) with 1600 pounds of group gear that no one else had room for:rolleyes: So 150 pounds to me is ultra light:-D
