Lightweight Backpacking and Camping: A Field Guide to Wilderness Equipment, Technique, and Style (Backpacking Light)
The days of carrying monster packs into the wilderness are officially over!

New Book Completely Redefines How to Enjoy Backcountry Travel

---

"Backpacking should be comfortable, safe, and fun."

So say the backcountry experts at Backpacking Light Magazine in their new book, Lightweight Backpacking & Camping: A Field Guide to Wilderness Equipment, Technique, and Style. And they should know: Backpacking Light Magazine is recognized as the outdoor industry's leading authority in lightweight hiking and backcountry travel, and has helped thousands of outdoor enthusiasts discover the joy of going light.

"The notion that you need to carry 40 or 50 pounds of gear into the backcountry to be comfortable and safe is absolutely ridiculous," says the book’s Editor, Ryan Jordan, who is also the Publisher of Backpacking Light Magazine and the outdoor industry's chief proselytizer of today's exploding lightweight backpacking movement. "Gear manufacturers continue to contaminate the market with too much gear that is overbuilt, overdesigned, overpriced, and overweight. Backpackers deserve to be told the other side of the story: that you can do more with less, and that a pack weight of less than 15 pounds (not including food and water) is easily accessible even to beginners."

A book about lightweight backpacking should be smart, fat, and heavy.

This new book redefines modern day backpacking as safe, comfortable, and fun – but with a much lighter pack. And, it doesn't take a casual approach to the topic: 436 pages of content educate backcountry users of all levels about the gear and technique required to make them experts.

Lightweight Backpacking & Camping fills major gaps in existing outdoor literature by offering:

- Multiple, balanced perspectives that appeal to a wide range of experiences, skills, and personal styles.

- In-depth content that provides basic, intermediate, and advanced discussions of skills that grow with the reader.

- Up-to-date information about the best lightweight gear and apparel, including the manufacturers that make it and the retailers that carry it.

Lightweight Backpacking & Camping is the most comprehensive and rigorous text ever published on the subject. In addition to chapters about gear and basic skills, consider its more advanced topics: why the biomechanics of walking justifies the use of running shoes instead of boots; how an examination of thermoregulation science suggests why today's high-tech synthetic clothing is too heavy and poorly engineered; how super-ultralight backpacking with a five pound pack can allow someone in average physical condition to hike a 30 mile day, and why some inclement weather conditions can be ideally suited for sleeping under an ultralight tarp, rather than a heavy tent.

Lightweight Backpacking & Camping not only sets the standard for backcountry education, it raises the bar to heights never before seen in the outdoor industry. Unlike other texts, Lightweight Backpacking & Camping justififes its claims with good science, proper technique, and rationale discussions: not marketing, hyperbole, and guesswork.

Yes, lightweight backpacking works for everyone.

Lightweight backpacking (often, with a pack weight of less than 20 pounds) is the fastest growing trend in backpacking. Going light makes backcountry hiking more accessible to families, Boy Scouts, and aging baby boomers – groups normally excluded from enjoying the backcountry because of their inability to carry absurdly heavy backpacks.

Lightweight Backpacking & Camping is targeted not only to "heavy school" backpackers trying to get the motorhome off their back, but also to advanced wilderness travelers trying to do more with less. To that end, the volume is as well-suited for beginning hikers as it is to elite mountain athletes..

Critical Choices That Change Lives: How Heroes Turn Tragedy Into Triumph
Have you ever wondered why some people can survive and prosper in the midst of adversity while everyone else around them crumbles?

Dan Castro conducted ten years of research into the lives of thousands of people throughout history who overcame extreme obstacles. He wanted to know if they were following any kind of pattern that could help explain their success. After ten years, Dan concluded that they are following a pattern, and that this pattern is both observable and exlpainable. In CRITICAL CHOICES THAT CHANGE LIVES, Dan put the best of the best stories side by side so others could see the same patterns he saw.

You will learn:

• The patterns that heroes have followed for thousands of years to turn tragedy into triumph.

• The three reasons why heroes thrive under pressure while others crack.

• What heroes choose to focus on in the heat of the battle.

• Why heroes choose their own beliefs even when the evidence looks grim.

• How heroes choose their own expectations when everyone else's expectations are low.

• The three critical choices that turn ordinary people into heroes.

"Make a critical choice. Read this book and change your life." — Robert G. Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Creating Wealth.

"This is an amazingly powerful book that can change your life from the moment you read it."—Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup Series.

"I love this book! It is brimming with uplifting stories and concrete, historical principles for turning tragedy into triumph."—Best-selling author Susan Jeffers, Ph.D..

Day Hikes in the Beartooth Mountains, 4th
The rugged Beartooth Mountains are Montana's highest mountain range. This beautiful range of the Rocky Mountains rises dramatically from the plains of south-eastern Montana and stretches to the northern reaches of Yellowstone National Park.

Now in its fourth edition, Day Hikes In the Beartooth Mountains includes an extensive collection of hikes within this mountain range and the adjacent foothills and plains. The eighty-seven hikes range from 11,000-foot alpine plateaus and peaks to treks along the Yellowstone River as it begins its journey through the arid plains (including sixteen new hikes around the Billings area). A wide range of scenery and ecosystems accommodates all levels of hiking, from relaxing creekside strolls to all-day, high-elevation outings.

The hikes lie within a 75-mile radius of Red Lodge, an active resort and ski town. The Beartooth Highway, heralded as "the most scenic highway in America" by Charles Kuralt, heads out of town into the Beartooth Mountains, connecting Red Lodge to Yellowstone Park. The 68-mile road hugs the mountain-side along curving switchbacks that traverse up, across and back down the alpine plateau.

A wide range of scenery and ecosystems accommodates all levels of hiking, from relaxing creekside strolls to all-day, high-elevation outings. All hikes can be completed during the day. Map sources and references are listed for extending the hikes.

Each hike includes:
>Detailed map
>Accurate driving and hiking directions
>Distance/time/elevation statistics
>Summaries to help hikers find a trail appropriate to their ability and desire
>Several overall maps to show the hikes in the greater area

Hiking the Beartooths
Very few places on earth match the unbridled beauty of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, nearly a million acres of high-elevation splendor, about a thousand lakes, Montana's tallest peaks, nearly 300 miles of trails, and hundreds more miles of off-trail routes. Most of the range is granite, three billion years old. Bill Schneider, Falcon publisher and author of Hiking the Beartooths, calls this wilderness a "masterpiece of the National Forest System" and "an angler's paradise." Arctic grayling and several varieties of trout are found in the lakes and streams there. On one trail called The Beaten Path (not nearly as crowded as it sounds), the reader is advised of looming distractions-too many trout, too many great views, too many fields of juicy berries. Hiking the Beartooths, formerly The Trail Guide to the Beartooths, is the only comprehensive sourcebook for exploring this spectacular backcountry. Detailed maps, elevation charts, up-to-date fishing information, and tips on no-trace camping and wilderness safety, including bear precautions, make this required reading for your next vacation in "nature's penthouse." Put it in your pack, in a place where you can refer to it easily and often..
