This website is a resource for ultralight and lightweight backpacking for adventure travel, including hiking, trekking, and canoe and kayak touring.
Because of my experiences in and around Mountain Rescue, I am interested in people having more enjoyable, and safe, outdoor experiences.
Look over the entire website and links to the best information and lightweight gear and equipment anywhere. If there is something better, I will add it.
I am making a PDF eBook, for download, involving over 100 printable pages.
Meanwhile, the Site Map should help you find what you are looking for.
I emphasize a product type or design, by repetititon, across brand names and product lines. I have mentioned some products that, while not ideal, are the best of type.
The selection of lightweight and ultralight backpacking gear and clothing runs thru the entire website. The selections are not necessarily the most expensive.
The lightweight and ultralightweight backpacking enthusiasts prove hiking and backpacking to beautiful places does not have to be an ordeal.
Because of this, new products utilize innovative engineering and fabric technology and now quite ingenious products are available both from manufacturers and retail stores as well as from "cottage industry" and small businesses within the hiking community.
I may list something new, however, the new fabrics and new lightweight and ultralightweight backpacking products are field tested and proven before listed here.
The natural materials that have exceptional qualities are here.
Please, move slowly, have short trips before an ambitious trip.
Please, savor the experience, from considering items in the pack to pouring over maps and guidebooks, and also the photos and video exemplary advice available right here on this website for consideration of your next trip, and the next.
There is considerable resource here. If all this seems overwhelming right now, better here than out on the trail.
For the impatient, I have a shortcut to the last page: The Last Word.
