Ultralight Hiker: Lint

My friend Lint, was just featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting's "Field Guide," where he proudly (and humorously) demonstrates the joys of ultralight backpacking.  For those of you who do not know Lint, the guy is an ultralight hiking stud, who is one of the most genuine, humble  guys I know.  He has hiked the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails twice, and he is hiking the Continental Divide Trail for a second time this coming summer, yep, he will be a Double-Triple Crowner come next September.  Enjoy the video below! Skip ahead to the 8:50 mark.

Watch Season 23, Episode 12 on PBS. See more from Oregon Field Guide.

Triple Crown Recipient Video

Prodeal put together this video for ALDHA-West, and it features all those who received their Triple Crown Award for 2009.  He did a wonderful job with putting this together.  Check it out.

I am myself hoping to be in the next video for 2010. I've got 30-miles to hike on the PCT, so I cannot be a Triple Crowner until I get those last miles done. Yes, I am a stickler for details!
