Ultralight Winter Travel

"The Ultimate Guide to Lightweight Winter Camping, Hiking, and Backpacking"

In 2014, Justin Lichter and Shawn Forry set out to be the first hikers to navigate the full length of the Pacific Crest Trail in the winter. Taking four and a half months, the two men walked, skied, and snowshoed for 2,650 miles from British Columbia to the US-Mexico Border. The two men are regarded as experts on lightweight human powered trekking, having set speed records on trails in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Justin and Shawn took their considerable trail experience and wrote this book, which serves as a guide for travelling in cold, snowy, and wet conditions while remaining as comfortable as possible. Learn about packing, equipment, logistics, and the ever-present wintertime travel task of getting and staying dry.
