Getting Outdoors - Backpacking!

Hello folks.

Sorry it's been a while. Well summer's been cruising along and I still haven't done much camping/hiking/backpacking. But I just read Kristof's editorial on the matter, and he pointed me to some helpful resources:

Backpacker Magazine has a lot of helpful resources, such as nearby trails, skills 101, and gear.

Joe's Ultralight Backpacker Website is a friendly low key place with some more helpful advice.

And lastly, this guy Brett has a blog which is pretty cool. Here is a gear list he recommends.

Well I now have the information. I need to get some gear and pick a trail. Probably taking an experienced friend would be a good idea.

I'll be a backpacking master in no time friends!
