Our philosophy at Go Light Outdoors is that almost any outdoor activity is enhanced if you don't have to worry about carrying too much weight, finding a place for everything, or food spoiling along the way. The primary message being conveyed at this website, is that regardless of your choice of outdoor activity, going light will increase your enjoyment level, significantly. Travelling light will allow for increased awareness and enjoyment of the surroundings while headed to your destination. Once you get there, you'll still have energy to celebrate your arrival. Also, travelling light decreases the risk of fatigue-related injuries and injuries from undue stress on back, legs, knees, and feet.
Backpackers have long known the advantages of going light. Sailors often have to deal with space limitations and lack of refrigeration. Self-support kayak expeditions require both light weight and low bulk. Cavers may spend days underground. Families can only pack so much into the minivan! Our proven techniques, recipes, and gear will allow almost anyone to successfully Go Light Outdoors.
This website offers a variety of ways to learn how to Go Light Outdoors. Explore our site using the navigation buttons on the left to find out About Us, our Equipment, How We Can Help, and where we will be holding Clinics to demonstrate our techniques in the future.
