Keeping it Light

I have been reading a number of hiking blogs dedicated to keeping your pack light.  There is a lot of interest in the new "ultralight" hiking and backpacking.  I find the minimalist approach to gear appealing.  My favorite website is Hike Light.  They have a great 3-day gear list with actual weights and item details. I also bought some super light waterproof mitts (1.2 oz) and gaiters (2.30 oz) from Mountain Laurel Designs.  Another good resource is Hyperlite Mountain Gear.  I bought a couple of the HMG cuben fiber stuff sacks.  Here are the links to these websites:
