This book is for backpackers whose goal is to reduce
weight significantly. It is no secret that the heavier
the pack, the more unpleasant the hike. A reduction
in weight backpacking leads to easier, more enjoyable
hikes. This book is full of helpful information that
any backpacker, from novice to expert, will find useful.
Highly recommended.
