The long-awaited paperback introductory book that explains the ideas and practices of Ultra Light Hiking, both with pop illustrations!
It would be a shame to only look at the “lightness” of ultra light hikes.
Rather, the “simplicity” and “relationship with nature” that lies beyond that is the core of ultralight hiking.
We hope that not only hikers, but also many people who are interested in nature will learn about this type of hiking style.
And if this book can help such people at least a little, there is no greater joy than this.
*The first book to explain ultra light hiking in Japan, “Ultra light Hiking (published February 12, 2011),” is now available in paperback.
A through-hiker who spends months walking through America’s long trails over 3,000km. With their own unique philosophy, they have made their own light and simple tools that are not found in pre-made products, and have established know-how to walk through. This book explains ultralight hiking, born in the United States, and introduces practical methods in Japan.
