Ultralight Backpacking

Er, is this thing on? *taptaptap* Yeah, I know, not much in the way of readership, but I keep meaning to post, then time goes by, and, anyway…

Attended a rather informative session on the topic last night…now very intrigued to see how light I can get my pack. I won’t be down to a <7 “base weight” any time soon, but I think there’s definitely some weight to be lost. Something to start working on this weekend, one supposes.

Also, AdventureTrek 2010 is coming…and I want to work sweep on the hiking portion, so this drives part of that motivation.

Managed to get about 30 people to the Venturing Program Forum at Sunset Trail District’s roundtable last night. Let me just say this: jawesome.
