#ultralight-backpacking

I first encountered the ideas of ultralight backpacking in 1994, in an article in now-defunct (and much-missed) Backpacker magazine. It was titled "Less is More," by Mark Jenkins. (I still have a PDF copy I scanned years ago.) Jenkins wrote about a long trip across Europe and Africa. By the end, he and his traveling partner shed all the gear they thought they needed, save what they were wearing, their down jackets, and some spoons.

Zenbivy's revamped Light Bed maintains the comfort of its original version while shedding weight, making it a versatile option for ultralight backpackers seeking excellent warmth-to-weight ratio.

The ultralight backpacking movement has driven innovation in the outdoor gear industry for over 20 years, resulting in lighter, stronger, and warmer gear.
