We're just back from Wilderness Trekking III, the advanced course in Backpacking Light's newly-launched Wilderness Trekking School.
Recipe: take 8 solo experts, add a bunch of snow, plop them in an unfamiliar locale, take away their maps, and force them into groupthink. Mix well. Let the wilderness spit them out where it needs to.
We traveled light, saw some amazing scenery, and applied ultralight techniques to mountain winter travel.
More, much more, about this program: coming soon to BPL. And stay tuned for more photos.

I look forward to reading and seeing more photos. Although I quite enjoyed my time off work for my PNT thru hike this summer I certainly wish I could have made the BPL Wilderness Trek happen as well.

Ryan,
Was wondering about your stoves on the Wilderness Trek III course. Are they from Titanium Goat or custom made for you? Ti goat doesn't show the bottom plate in their kit. What are the specs. on the kit? Look forward to hearing more on the podcasts about the class.
Thanks
Pat
