Looking for UL hiking partners
Posted: May 3rd, 2017, 2:26 pm
Hi! I'm new here. I know this isn't an ultralight forum per se but just wanted to see if there are other UL people out there. I backpacked a bit as a kid but just got back into it about three years ago.
I completed a solo JMT trip last year over 11 days and the Wonderland trail the year before. I'm looking to explore more local trails this year. I'm open to hiking speed/distance but generally like to cover between 10-25 miles a day.
I enjoy chatting about gear, making gear, learning new techniques, planning hikes, and drinking beer (of course). I'm a 40 y/o married male. I have two kids that are still too young to do any serious hiking, but I hope to get them into it some day. Just looking for anyone else that shares these interests and might want to do some trips. I'm probably most compatible with other ultralight people focused on refining gear and getting weight down. Open as to age/gender. Send me a PM.
Thanks
Ryan
P.S - forgot to mention that I'm in the Portland area.
