Back Packing and Ultralight Gear
This weekend is hiking weekend in the Engelberg area. Cant wait. Staying at my friend Marc`s fabulous mountain chalet on Saturday night check out Chalet Frutt.
So Ive been lookling also at some gear and will be more dilligent in posting any interesting links to the usuall websites that interest me. On the way from Ireland to Zurich the other day I had a lots of time to kill and spent most of it in WH Smith reading magazines and came across some interesting articles on lightweight gear for backacking or adventure racing. Ive never had to use a tent in an adventure race as I havent done one where we actually stopped yet (Im talking 29 hours on the go here)! But check out the Terra Nova Laser Photon Elite its only 1lb 11oz or .76 kg…LESS THAN A KILO..wow. If anyone feels generous, I really really need a tent for Christmas…a really light one…under 1 kg hint hint
