Bring Light Items When Backpacking!

Have you ever wondered how heavy backpackers carry on their load?  I see experienced backpackers carry big loads of backpacks and as I see it, it must be really heavy!

But a few years ago, I had the experience to join a group of young people do backpacking.  To my surprise, there are items that are really lightweight!  For example, you can bring a lightweight sleeping bag which is compressible to about the size of a loaf of bread!  You can even carry with you a single person tent no less than 5 pounds in weight!

However, there may be items that you just can't reduce its weight. Water is one.  You really need water when backpacking.  However, you can bring a water filter that you can use once you run out of water!

Also, if you are backpacking and at the same time trying to join a hunting expedition, your hunting rifle may not be lightweight. The best binoculars for hunting may not always be lightweight. So, be wise in selecting and bringing your items for the right occasion when backpacking.
