Lightweight Backpacking News: Digest No. 2
Regarding the Wild trailer… I guess Hollywood has to exaggerate for dramatic effect, but man, that thing is enormous!
According to Outside magazine, Cheryl Strayed still has some of the gear she used on her trip along the PCT, and it appears the movie production crew made an effort to be authentic.
It is a huge pack!

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the 8 oz hammock???
Sounds intriguing for a bit of campsite luxury.

Arrowhead Equipment has had a hammock chair for quite some time now: http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/store/p446/Bushman_Hammock_Chair.html (no weight listed though).
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the embedded video, which we've always been told that this site wasn't capable of doing.
Arrowhead’s Bushman Hammock Chair weighs 300 g (10.5 oz) in the lighter 1.1 oz fabric according to the review linked off the web page.
Embedded videos, audios, and other web features are allowed for feature articles, not for comment posts like this one. I included several MP3 files in my voice recorder article.
