you don't seem to.

if you're serious about it just buy a top tier item. its reasonable to cut a 30lb base pack built using walmart level junk down to under 10lbs. as a bonus the stuff will last and work better. it's not cheap but most of it is a buy once cry once deal.

is it worth it? You have to decide. if you're only get going to do 1 or max 2 nights, never go more than 10 miles, and do that a couple times a year probably not. if you're going out for a 10 day 150 mile trip absolutely it is. The level of /out/ varies wildly, from winded walking up the stairs to yeah (you don't need to worry about weight) to i've done a couple eight thousanders and will get another this year. then already know you really need to worry about weight.

buying better stuff has saved me money overall. that may not be the right choice for you.
