I have just received my Trailstar Tarp and Superlight Biv from Ron at MLD - the gear looks fabulous - well made.
I am seam sealing this weekend (if rain stops!) and taking both pieces of gear off on a 4 day hike with the Auckland Tramping Club next weekend (Easter).
I will report performance and post photos in two weeks.
This blog is designed to exchange ideas about how to dramatically cut your gear weight to make tramping (hiking) trips less strenuous, but still remain safe and sensible. Subscribe, make comments, ask for advice, or share your lightweight gear experiences with our community. The header photo features me on McKellar Saddle. The pack is the 45Lt Zpacks Arc Blast, hiking poles Helinox FL120, Dirty Girl gaiters, Spalms sunsleeves and Altra Lone Peak shoes
