Our Gear
The key to going light on boating, hiking, or other expeditions isn't necessarily having the lightest
components (although that helps!). Of greater importance is taking only the minimum that you
will need. Extra, unused gear just adds weight.
Of course, "what you need" depends on your level of comfort desired, and weather at the time of the
trip. Winter expeditions necessarily need more clothing and equipment. Some people need chairs,
tents, and thick sleeping pads on all their trips. Others "need" gourmet food or menus heavy on
fresh meats and produce, which require refrigeration (coolers!)
Our philosophy at Go Light Outdoors is that all gear should be appropriate for its intended use.
We carry only what is needed to be comfortable and safe on our Trips, an adequate "kitchen" for
the meals that will be prepared, and meals with appropriate portions and nutritional content. In
addition, we feel that all of our personal gear, river equipment, and food should be easily carried
on our individual boats and be easily accessible. No more spending hours rigging the boat in the
morning and de-rigging at camp.
