Erik 'The Black" has just completed another comprehensive gear research report, this time on sleeping pads. His previous reports were for backpacks, sleeping bags and tents/tarps. If you missed my posting on these, they are available on his blog.

He is to be congratulated on such great gear research work!
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
