English term or phrase: Ultralight Backpacking
O termo se refere a mochileiros que fazem suas viagens com uma carga mínima, ao contrário dos mochileiros "comuns", que costumam levar uma grande variedade de equipamentos. Estou relutante em traduzir como "mochileiros ultraleves", mas não estou encontrando ocorrências de alguma sugestão melhor, e como não entendo muito dessa área, qualquer ajuda é bem-vinda.

Grato,

Heder

excursionismo ultraleve
Explanation:
Para backpacking usa-se o termo "excursionismo".
O termo "mochileiro", para as pessoas do meio, é pejorativo e refere-se àqueles que carregam mochilas desatualizadas, mal feitas e com penduricalhos para fora.
E ultralight refere-se, sim, ao estilo de viagem, carregando o mínimo necessário - o que inclui a mochila leve também, assim como fogareiros leves, sacos de dormir leves, isolantes térmicos, roupas e assim por diante.

ultralight backpacking
Técnica/Estilo de caminhada/excursão transportando baixo peso.


Explanation:
Sug.

Diria que se trata de um estilo/técnica em que se transporta um peso relativamente baixo.

- Ultralight backpacking is an advanced[1][note 1] style of backpacking that emphasizes packing (carrying) the lightest weight safely possible for a given hike and the techniques necessary when using ultralight gear. To reach this goal, base pack weight (the weight of a backpack plus the gear inside— excluding consumables such as food, water, and fuel, which vary depending on the duration and style of trip) is reduced as much as safely possible.

Although no technical standards exist, the terms light and ultralight commonly refer to base pack weights below 20 pounds (9.1 kg) and 10 pounds (4.5 kg) respectively. Traditional backpacking often results in base pack weights above 30 pounds (14 kg), and sometimes up to 60 pounds (27 kg) or more. Extreme enthusiasts of ultralight backpacking sometimes attempt super-ultralight backpacking in which the base pack weight is below 5 pounds (2.3 kg).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_backpacking - 71k


- Backpacking (in US; tramping, trekking, or bushwalking in other countries) combines hiking and camping in a single trip. A backpacker hikes into the backcountry to spend one or more nights there, and carries supplies and equipment to satisfy sleeping and eating needs.
