the real question is what do you need a pocket knife for on an ultralight-style hike when you have a pair of titanium scissors?
I think it depends on the choices you make. For each expensive option there is usually a decent cheap option. Most people associate ultralight with over-engineered DCF and carbon fiber tents that cost $1000, but a sub-$100 tarp can work as well.

> I can take a hike for 4 or maybe 5 days this summer in the Japanese Alps. The Northern Alps around tsurugidake seem like the place to be. But I was also considering central Alps for a shorter hike and then divert to Mt. Fuji which I've never seen before. > > Thoughts? Experiences? Ideas?
