People sometimes think safety is one of the things we trade off to go light. I may go TOO light at times (under ten pounds for a weekender), but my balance is better, and I've never had a blister since I started going light. Safety is a matter of knowledge and experience too. A trained survivalist will be safer backpacking with no shelter than a neophyte with the best tent.
What do you think? Is ultralight backpacking more dangerous, safer, or about the same?
