First Post!

I wanted to create a blog to keep track of various tid bits of information that I come across while researching for projects at work as well as hobbies and interests at home.

Currently, I'm looking into Ultralight Backpacking after an aborted attempt at the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail last summer due to carrying about 25 Kg of gear. My target is to get my "skin out" weight (gear in pack including consumables plus gear worn) under 12 Kg. Once I figure out how to post it,I will put up the gear list that I am currently using or thinking of getting.
