Lightweight Backpacking for Long Distance Treks
Anyone who has ever hiked over 20 miles in a day while carrying a backpack will know that weight is a really significant factor. Most experienced backpackers will know that you can reduce your weight by concentrating on the three most important items: your backpack, your sleeping bag and your shelter.
So you will want to leave your huge 10 pound tent and snug 5 pound sleeping bag at home and get yourself the lightest backpack you can find.
You may find it hard to believe but there are some really good lightweight backpacks that weigh less than four ounces. That's no exaggeration. The typical capacity would be around 1800 cubic inches which is enough for around 15 pounds of gear. This capacity should be enough for your lightweight sleeping bag, a tarpaulin for shelter and a few vital necessities including a first aid kit and some energy bars. And some water of course.
When packing for a lightweight trek you're likely to find that the water you need is the heaviest item you need to carry. It is worthwhile planning your route so that you can refill your water bottle and reduce the amount of water that you need to carry.
Another big benefit of going ultra light weight is that the equipment tends to be much cheaper than the heavier, tougher alternatives. You can even find some perfectly adequate lightweight backpacks, often sold as day sacks, in various bargain disount store costing only a few dollars. These are often very simple with only a few external pockets. They may be cheap but they can be excellent for lightweight hiking trips.
If you are lightening your load it's really worth paying some attention to your clothes and footwear. Forget your all weather outdoor clothing and instead go for an ultra lightweight rain and wind proof fold-up cagoule and some light weight sports shoes rather than heavy walking boots.
If you lighten your load by reducing your clothing weight, equipment and using a lightweight backpack you should find that a 20 mile hike is suddenly much easier to complete.

BACKPACKING GEAR REVIEW: Big Agnes Helinox Trekking Pole
.
A backpack fitted with pocket(s) that are suspended on the wearer"s front side (chest) and loaded in such a way that the load in the front and the load in the back are about equal is called a bodypack. The majority of the load on a bodypack is carried by the hips.
