Camminare ultraleggeri

The journey has become a small social and cultural phenomenon: in recent years, more and more people are tackling dirt roads, mule tracks and paths. But how do you need to equip yourself to undertake a journey on foot? How do you choose shoes? And is it true that socks are an essential garment? Which backpack is needed for a weekend in the mountains? And for a long-distance itinerary? But are there sizes for backpacks as well as for clothes? And, if it rains, what clothing is best to use. Camminare ultraleggeri answers these questions and provides much other information on equipment for hikers and wayfarers. But above all the book contains strategies and practical advice for reducing the weight carried, illustrating the lessons learned from the ultralight backpacking movement. Written both for those who go on day trips and for those who face long walks, the volume explores with updated information the topic of materials, clothing, footwear, backpacks and other objects necessary for traveling on foot in safety and comfort; it also provides extensive information on the equipment and techniques for bivouacking and cooking independently during trekking.
