Hello from SC...

[Hikingonthru]

Good evening! Been hiking and backpacking since 1979. Am now introducing my sons to trail life. Am specifically interested in ultra-light gear...mainly b/c I will have to carry a lot of extra gear for younger children. Anticipate having to go ultralight just to keep a sane bp weight.

Can totally understand the need to go as light as possible on trips with kids, I have my own pack weight pretty dialed in and am even adding some extra comfort and convenience items back in lately, but that all changes when we bring our son along, plus carrying him most of the time. Worth it however definitely a workout. In any event welcome to the forum!
