May I ask what’s taking the bulk of your weight?

For info, six days autonomy and including a bear can I’m hovering around 30lbs which is when the ultralight backpack starts being uncomfortable

I think that's about 13 kg. For six days? You must be on very limited water each day. 13 kg is running weight.

I assume he's getting water along the way and filtering it, not bringing his water for 6 days. I don't think many people hike out with almost a week's worth of water vs. finding water sources.

Ok but it's not always possible to resupply like that, hence why someone may be carrying more.

yes filtering water along the way. I doubt you can carry six days of water in an environment that's so dry you need to carry everything
