In the hiking community travelling light has become an obsession for some people. Some going as far as cutting their tooth brush in half just to shave of a few grams. I get spending a fortune on a lightweight tent and gas burner which can save you several kilograms in your backpack, but when you go down to shaving off 10g and less I think it has moved away from the practical over to a hobby in and of itself. Nothing wrong with that of course, just saying.
