Participants in this clinic will learn ultralight strategies and techniques used by backpackers and thru-hikers to reduce their pack weight. It combines lecture, gear demonstration, and an opportunity to ask questions. The presentation focuses on a systematic approach to assess your clothing, gear, and food to fit the particular trip conditions and your personal goals. The emphasis of this clinic will be on concepts and strategies rather than specific retail brands.
