About Me I live in the Redwoods of Northern California. It rains here, a lot, often going 30+ days without it stopping. I love it!

I have migrated from a 35 pound BPW setup to a winter time setup of 6.63 pounds, a shoulder season setup of 4.89 pounds and a summer time setup of under two pounds. Check out my website (http://www.hikelighter.com/) for my gear list and reading my blogs and my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/RedwoodOutdoors) for videos on SUL and XUL gear and whatnot.
