Lightweight hiking strategies apply to everyone, says master hiker Karen Berger: the less weight you have on your back, the more comfortable you’ll be on the trail whether you’re hiking five miles or five hundred. She’s not talking about extreme strategies (such as cutting the handle off your toothbrush to save a few ounces). It’s all about evaluating and analyzing what you carry, whether you truly need it and really use it.
Berger helps you strike a balance between comfort on the trail versus comfort in camp. Always, the emphasis is on hiking wisely–and safely.

Solid info, Backpacking Lite Karen again tells it as it is. Hiking Light is a frame of mind, a lifestyle change. Karen does a great job of giving you information and options to reach your goal of enjoying your experience of backpacking. She explains how to wisely look at ALL your gear and habits for ways to reduce that unnecessary weight without compromising its function. This book is based on over 17,000 miles of hiking on the trail in the East, in the West and in other countries.This is not a fad book telling…
Hiking Light Handbook The Hiking Light Handbook: Carry Less, Enjoy More actually has very little information for anyone who has been in the backcountry. I found The Backpackers Handbook, by Chris Townsend, to be more useful.
