When I first started the intentional process of carrying a lighter pack and adopting a "lightweight" philosophy, the practical benefits were immediately apparent: I could travel more miles, I could hike a little faster, I was less fatigued when I arrived at camp, and I could complete harder, steeper routes to the more remote places I wanted to visit.

But as the "philosophy" began to become ingrained in me, I really started to think about how "going light" could impact the rest of my life. Fifteen years ago, our lives were complicated, overwhelming, too busy - we felt like salmon swimming upstream.

So over the past several years, we have downsized our possessions, downsized our home, traveled more, hiked more, and have made more room for the passions in our life. "Going light" has had a powerful and positive impact that has extended far beyond our wilderness travel style.

So here's my question to you:

Why are you here? Why did you visit backpackinglight.com?
