Christmas gifts for light-weight backpackers

December 7th, 2007

LightBackpacking.com has a bunch of suggestions. Interesting ditty: A Nikon monocular/spotting scope. I have one made by Zeiss that I use occasionally — it’s small, light & handy but hard to hold still enough to get much use out of.

    If it is really windy, I would suggest heavy boots for the light-weight backpacker. They also may want to carry more water than usual to keep them firmly attached to the ground.

    The only product I covet on that list is the Black Diamond First Light tent.
