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.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you at Womens Outdoor Pursuits AGM Rob. I am still gasping at how little you carry and not a little envious of your energy and enthusiasm for tramping.I had a look at my pack later and whipped out the extra merinos. I am so well prepared for an emergency I could deliver a baby, baptise it and offer a nice meal afterwards. See you out there.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I enjoyed the evening - Yes, those "contingency" items will double your weight. Remember - layers - never take more than you can wear at one time.
