Ultralight Packing Philosophy

Our group has studied and refined the methodologies currently in vogue known as "ultralight" backpacking. These techniques can include such things as removing the labels from clothing, trimming the excess from shoelaces and hacking the handle from your toothbrush (or leaving it behind).

While we applaud these popular new trends, we feel that it is very important to not lose sight of the ultimate purpose of these techniques: being able to pack more luxury food items.

With some care in trimming the non-essentials, you can easily include wine, baked goods and fresh vegetables on your next trip.
