Ultra-Light Clinic
January 28, 2016 7pm
Event Info http://www.montbell.us/special/event/PortlandStoreEvents/
Are you struggling up the trail under a heavy pack?
Still carrying your old gear from the 90's?
Do your knees hurt after a day on trail with a heavy pack?
Do you want to become an Ultra-Light Backpacker, but don't know where to begin?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions then this clinic is perfect for you.
Cam "Swami" Honan of The Hiking Life and Whitney "Allgood" LaRuffa of Allgood's K-9 Adventures will be leading a discussion of Ultra-Light backpacking philosophies, gear and techniques to help you get out on trail with less weight on your back. The two will each go through their packs to show exactly what they carry on trail to stay safe and comfortable but not be burdened with extra weight.
Swami and Allgood are both Montbell athletes, passionate long distance hikers, and have been using Ultra Light gear since it first came to market in the late 90's.
