Ultralight backpacking tips and websites

Check out Joe's Ultralight backpacking site. He's an aging guy who wanted to take some weight off his knees. Some cool gear lists and trip notes there.

Backpacking Light is a magazine called "Home to the most fanatic pound-shedders on the planet" by the L.A. times. This is a big time serious site full of content, reviews, ways to put your 2 cents in... requires a paid subscription for some content.

Adventure Alan's Website is pretty original too- especially interesting is the complete ultralight backpacking checklist of items you can buy for the lowdown total of $250. If that's too much scrimping, try the $700 one.

This site is chock full of free info, my favorite kind: The Ultralight Backpacking Site.
