Ultralight Backpacking

The newest thing in backpacking is ultralight backpacking. If you’ve ever gone on a proper hike before, you know that backpacking can be a real drag. You need to cart the tent, your food, your water, your sleeping back and everything else you could possibly imagine up the side of a mountain. There’s a reason they say you have everything but the kitchen sink. However, when I saw this site, it was a breath of fresh air. They suggest packing yourself a bag with just 15 pounds worth of gear and they say that that’s all you’ll need. It’s amazing, but it’s true. You can pack a bag lighter than many school children’s bags and still have what you need. Check the site for info.
