About Me I am not a lightweight convert, I started off with the lightweight attitude. I have spent plenty of time in the outdoors mainly on rock climbing trips. I'm EXCITED about backpacking more seriously. I'm most interested in the art of primitive survival and would prefer hiking to an area and sustaining myself for as long as I chose. Eventually, I hope to be able to bring NOTHING into the wilderness.
