- Does anyone know anything about very! light weight back
- packing? I mean going into the woods for 1-2 nights with just
- 20 lbs or so. I am not talking survival tactics quite, I would
- still wnat to use a small stove of some kind with other light
- weight gear and a minimum of the basics. I have a slight back
- problem and figure I cane still continue back packing if
- I go very lite weight and carry it very low on my back
- (belt pack of some kind?) Thanks for any information or
- advice...Steve Ferguson/sferguso@vdoe386.vak12ed.edu
