In Beyond Backpacking we learn about the myths in today’s heavy-duty hiking
\nand camping gear and clothing, and we see – with several examples – how we
\ntend to acquire our equipment-related mis-beliefs from the advertising
\nindustry. Heavy gear, Ray says, saps energy and strength. It makes us more
\nprone to injury. And it reduces our potential for enjoyment. And according to
\nRay, heavy, clumsy gear tends to discourage us from venturing into the
\nbackcountry. <\/p>\n
With these myths bulldozed aside, Ray proceeds to detail his light-weight
\nhiking clothing and gear. In one chapter he describes, step by step, how to
\nmake this clothing and equipment. And for those who lack the time to make
\ntheir own, Ray recommends a company that is making his ultralight gear
\ncommercially – that is, gear designed by Ray himself. Beyond Backpacking also
\nshows – in superb detail – how to use this gear. And of course it goes into
\nhis lightweight hiking philosophies. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
