"Short, to-the-point, and humorously illustrated by famed outdoor illustrator Mike Clelland, this book presents everything hikers and backpackers need to be safe, comfortable, and well fed while carrying a very small and lightweight pack"--

Review of "Ultralight backpackin' tips" on 'Goodreads'

A great reference. I'm an aspiring UL backpacker and a lot of the tips I had gathered from trolling forums and various blogs. It's great that they're in a single place, and I appreciate Clelland's challenge of writing without referencing specific pieces of kit. As a Canadian, one of the greatest annoyances is the fact that most cottage industry providers of kit are extremely expensive to ship from USA to Canada (if available at all). Boiling it down to just the principles makes things very accessible.

I will likely go back and pick out some of the recipes to try, and start tuning my own schedule once the hiking season begins. Recommended.
