"Dear Backpacking Light: ... I received Issue #5. All my expectations are blown away! You dive into the spirit/heart/feel of backpacking- the real reason we go in the first place. Additionally, you addressed the need for conservation of Wilderness, national parks and roadless areas, which is another area I'm very passionate about. As Ryan Jordan states in "Publisher's View", "...we're trying to fight in a way that emphasizes the intrinsic value of wilderness to the soul of the traveler." I thought the three articles ("Why We Go" by Matt Colon; "National Parks in Perl" by Todd Wilkinson; "Roadless" by Ryan Jordan) which supported these concepts were all excellent...I congratulate you on moving towards the spiritual heart of backpacking and the protection of the cathedrals in which we hike. I hope you do much more in this arena and become a strong voice in the protection of wilderness and roadless areas. I wish you all many more miles of wildness." - David Swinehart, Pine, CO "I have read the pilot issue of Backpacking Light from cover to cover. The best read ever on lightweight backpacking and very thought-provoking." - Noel Adams, Radstock (Somerset), United Kingdom "(The print magazine is) great stuff. Well done. Good cross section of topics. It was very interesting to see BPL’s ethics/mission spelled out in print (in the magazine). Your goals are met. They describe exactly how you came across to me as I discovered and consistently returned to the BPL website. I can only tell you what you already know...BPL’s informative articles and responsible, analytical reviews are a reassuring breath of fresh air after the fancy footwork observed in other (backpacking) magazines and websites. Y’all are awesome. Inspired by the articles and reviews I found on the BPL website, this spring I have transitioned from a 35 lb. pack weight (what was I thinking!?!?) to 17 lbs. I have a ways to go, but that will come. With heartfelt thanks, I lift my Frappuccino to you all!" - Krista Allen, San Antonio, TX
