Follow-up Notes For Participants

Seminar Notes

I'm sorry Seminar Notes we handed out were not formatted. I'll email .doc file to participants I have email addresses for. The file can also be downloaded from Lightweight Backpacking Page. If you can't print, I'll be glad to send a copy on request.

If possible, please print this file for yourself. You'll find it better for reading tables and equipment lists. You can more easily record your equipment and compare to example lists, if you wish.

 

We mentioned article: The 10-Pound Test, pack/bag/tent systems for 3-season hiking, Dennis Lewon, October, 2003, www.backpacker.com/gear

This doesn't seem to be online. I'll send paper copies on request.

 

Tent and Pack Manufacturers mentioned by Rudy

Pack - http://www.gvpgear.com/

Tent - Henry Shires, hshires@jps.net, http://www.tarptent.com

There's a lightweight manufacturers list at http://friends.backcountry.net/m_factor/lw.html

I'll add these to links at Lightweight Backpacking Page.

 

If you suggest other good links, I'll add them.

 

Please contact me if you'd like to discuss anything that came up at seminar etc.
