<BODY> <P>We have always attempted to backpack as lightweight as possible, but in 1998 we decided to make a more conscious effort to learn and try Lightweight Backpacking techniques.</P> <P>Our Lighweight Backpacking section was created in a frames format. If you are reading this text, your browser lacks the ability to read frames. Don't worry, you can still enjoy our Lightweight Backpacking section. All pages can be viewed from the <A HREF="ltconten.htm"> contents </A> page.</P> <P>Note: The frames format has it own `index' page with links for moving back and forth between pages. Since this is not available in this `non-frames' format, you will have to use your Browser `Back' button (to return to the <A HREF="ltconten.htm"> contents </A> page) when you are done viewing each page.</P> <P>Please come inside!</P> <P><A HREF="ltconten.htm"> Contents </A></P> </BODY>
