light backpack load is eliminate anything that is not
necessary. If you can do without an item then it can be
left at the back. Next you want to consider multiple uses
for items.
You could find that you can simply cut the
amount of items in half if you get creative and find
paths to employ a single item more than one way. It looks
like a smart idea to try and use each item in your pack
for a minimum of 2 different uses.

attempting to find different methods to use things.
Another thing to do to have a light backpack is to look
for lightweight alternatives to this items you have. For
instance, rather than toothpaste use tooth
powder.

reductions will add up. After you have done all the above
you should be left with your necessities. You can not
leave behind something like your tent or food, but there
are more methods to lighten you backpack load.

and sturdy. Use lithium batteries as they are lighter in
weight than other kinds. For food, you can purchase
sugarless drink mixes, which shockingly weighs a lot less
than kinds with sugar.
You also should eat the heavier food items first
so as your trip progresses and you grow less energised
you will not be lugging round the heavy food. These are a
few methods to have a light backpack load. There are tons
of inventive concepts. Do the research and you may be
bound to find plenty of more paths to have al light
backpack load. Just always recall that any tiny bit of
weight gone is a good thing. If you just reduce an oz.
here and there then total you could find you lost a pound
or 2.
