When you’re buying a rain jacket, you probably have lots of questions, none of which really matter besides “Which rain jacket is best for me?” Do yourself a favor and stop asking other questions because if you do ask other questions, you will find yourself sucked into a whirlpool of information preying upon your inability to do math and science as an adult.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Can't use plastic as a fire shield and windbreak, I was thinking of multiple uses to minimise weight

MD55 has never come across as an ultralighter. This is all quite consistent.
Just move it!

Intentional typo?
Also, a cuben and carbon fibre golf umbrella might actually be surprisingly light.
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Hell in a strong wind tho, so only for track walking when the wind isn't blowing. When I was in Scotland many moons ago it wasn't uncommon to see umbrellas on the tracks, often lashed to the pack frame which left the hands free for the camera. Also when lashed down a temporary blizzard shelter or stove cowl for the afternoons brew-up
