First post! Welcome to my blog. I suppose we should get introductions done now. My name is Steve, I'm 24 and live in the greater Los Angeles area. I work in the IT industry but when I am not tied to the desk I would like to consider myself an "Outdoorsy" kind of guy. I have gone camping every summer for 13 years and try to go hiking at least once a month in the local mountains. If you were to ask me what a good vacation is I would respond with "Hiking, Camping and Fishing" (or some combination of those three).
Why the name 5 Pound Pack? Simple, I aim to show you that you can hit the trail without overloading on gear. There are some that may argue that all you need is a water bottle. While this may sometimes be the case, I have found it is better to be prepared in case a "worst case scenario" develops. With day hiking, the goal is to be prepared without loading yourself down.
With that all said, sit back, relax, grab a cold drink and lets hit the trails.

Just as long as that 5lbs doesn't include my knife, I'd be interested in knowing what else is included in the 5lbs pack.
ReplyDeleteonly 5lbs???? That's how much meat I take with me for a 2 day trip...
ReplyDeletewhat about the booze??? ;)
ReplyDeleteIm up for a short hike in the mountains near home. Where would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I have not been on a hike in quite some time. We also need to go on a recon trip in the local mountains to spec out close campgrounds. Who'd like to go?
