Backpacking the Light Way has one goal: to help backpackers lighten their loads. You need not sacrifice comfort to enter the world of ultralight backpacking, but you do need to change the way you think about gear, pack loads, and planning.

Preservation of comfort is the guiding principle of this book. It allows you to learn ultralight techniques and tricks without sacrificing what's important.

Longtime professional outdoor-skills instructor Richard Light teaches field-tested, proven strategies for:

Planning a modular packing system
Creating gear lists that work
Navigating the steps required to seriously lighten up
Understanding the differences in conventional and ultralight thinking
Dealing with winter conditions
Packing to minimize frustration
Assessing risk in the backcountry
Effective trip planning

Backpacking the Light Way helps beginners as well as advanced backpackers pack efficiently, carry less weight while still being fully prepared, and have fun in the backcountry.
