Walking Poles
Just a quick heads up to my NZ subscribers. Kathmandu has the Fizan Compact lightweight walking poles on sale right now. Great poles and cheap! About $50 each. See a previous blog. Also I got their Tropic lightweight sleeping bag to use when travelling overnight in our club bus, $48, bargain plus!

Great post! I would like to hear more about making your camping gears more lightweight. It is such a drag having to lug all those stuff around just to have a safe trip. Your advices and tips will be very much appreciated.
