Trek More Miles with a Lightweight Backpack
If you like to hike or trek over 20 miles in a day you will know how the weight of the gear you carry with you is a very significant factor. Experiences hikers, trekkers and backpackers know that to reduce the weight of your gear you need to concentrate on the three main items: your sleeping bag, shelter and the backpack itself.
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.
Believe it or not you can find some exceptionally high quality backpacks that weigh in at less than five ounces. This is no exaggeration. Most bags like this will have a capacity of around 1500 to 1800 cubic inches which will enable you to carry about 15 pounds of equipment. 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 your kit for a lightweight trek you'll probably find that the water you need is the heaviest item in your backpack. You can reduce the amount of water that you need to carry with you by planning your route to take you via locations where you can refill.
Another big benefit of going ultra light weight is that the equipment tends to be much cheaper than the heavier, tougher alternatives. For example, you can find some perfectly usable lightweight backpacks sold in bargain discount stores for only a few dollars. These are often very simple with only a few external pockets. But they can be excellent for lightweight trekking.
If you are going lightweight it's also worth considering your clothing. 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.
When you've lightened your load with some lightweight clothing and less gear in a lightweight backpack you will find that a 20 mile trek will seem like nothing at all.
