[at-l] Fastpacking 101

[janl2 at mindspring.com (Jan Leitschuh)]

Aw, man!
I hate that I can't get to Trail Days this year.
Can someone/many do a review of this seminar (below) online?
I really want to hear the salient points. I know it would be a 
terrific thread and - double bonus!! - one actually about hiking too.
I'm especially interested in equipiing a new hiker for summer weekend 
hikes.
Looking forward to your discussion next week,

Fast 'n Lite Shoester
(or, wanting to be more so)
