Learn innovative lightweight techniques like cooking one-pot meals and staying warm and dry with minimal gear while honing traditional backpacking skills like navigation and Leave No Trace. Lightweight backpacking is a great way to enjoy backcountry travel with less weight, allowing for faster travel.
Outfitted with 25- to 30-pound packs (10--15 pounds without food and fuel), you and your coursemates will be off to enjoy the wilderness as you never thought imaginable, without the burden of a heavy load.
