This is a very old file.

Much more current files and information can be found on Adventure Alan's Ultralight Backpacking Home Page. This contains a wealth of information on backpacking with gear lists, trip reports, backpacking techniques for various weather and environments (cold rainy weather, alpine hiking, desert hiking), etc. While focused on lightweight backpacking, much of the content applies to all styles of backpacking.
