Since then, he has graduated to backpacking with friends in the wilderness. When his job will allow, he hits the trail as often as possible. Over the years, he has researched and tested ways of lightening his pack. This long-time search has turned him into a Gram Weenie and he has become obsessed with obtaining the lightest pack possible.
