Why learn ultralight backpacking from us?
The Internet is flooded with free articles and videos about lightweight backpacking. But little of it is written by experts in the field.
Hike With Less gives you a proven, no-fluff process for lightening your pack without sacrificing comfort or safety.
LEARN FROM
EXPERT EDUCATORS
Just having a hiking blog doesn't make you an expert. Our head instructor is a former NOLS educator who's trained hundreds of backpackers. So everything you learn is based on both proven theory and real-world experience.
GAIN ACTUAL SKILLS
WITH LIVE TRAINING
It's tough to remember lessons from articles and videos alone. That's why Hike With Less blends live training, quizzes, worksheets and Q&A sessions to help you retain the knowledge you learn in each course.
NOT A 'GRAM WEENIE?'
NO PROBLEM!
Not everyone wants to be a hardcore ultralight backpacker (aka gram weenies). So at Hike With Less, our courses are designed to help you find the right balance between weight and comfort.
