I’m confused! I’ve been trying to get a hold of this book….been to his site and everyone says it’s out of stock. What’s the scoop? It seems like a great book, I wonder why it went out of publication.

The trailblazing book was written in 1999. Even though the philosophy and approaches of lightweight backpacking are timeless, much else have changed — sparked and spurred on by the book itself.
If you want a copy, your best bet is Amazon.com.
I have a copy in excellent condition I’ll sell for $12 including shipping.
Email Steve at: milergear@nc.rr.com
Steven:
I’d like to buy your book if it’s still available (i.e. if John isn’t interested). I’ve read bits and pieces of it but never systematically.
SOLD
Go ahead guys and make the deal. I’ll find another copy.
John:
You’re the one who started this thread and you’re the one who’s been looking for the book. As implied above, I think you should have first dips.
Steven mentioned to me that he will ship the book on Monday. So, if you are interested in this book, Paypal $12.50 ASAP to me at:
btangemail AT yahoo DOT com
IF I receive your money by 5 pm PST today (Sunday), then I will email Steven and confirm with him to ship the book to you instead. After 5pm, the book is mine. :)
Last chance. Going, going…
Thanks! I’ll take it. I’m Emailing you.
John
Ben or John if anyone one of you two still need a copy I will sell it for the same price so not to undercut anyone. $12.50 and I have paypal.
I bought the book from Steven, but passed it on to John because I felt that he should have first dips on it.
But yes, Ken, I am still interested in getting this book. Email sent.
got it. The book is yours.
I’m curious: what book is this? I have Ray Jardine’s “Beyond Backpacking” and “The Ray-Way Tarp Book”, but I don’t see any books with “Ultimate” in the title.
To the best of my knowledge, Ray has written four books, but only “The Ray-Way Tarp Book” is still in print. It’s available only from his website, http://www.ray-way.com/tb/index.shtml
The other books – and I’m lucky enough to have all three:
1992…..The PCT Hiker’s Handbook
1996…..The Pacific Crest Trail Hiker’s Handbook, 2nd edition
2000…..Beyond Backpacking
Wandering Bob
Good point! The book I have is “Beyond Backpacking”. Hope that is what John wants.
Steve
Hmmm… very interesting.
Anyway, in my email’s to Ken, I specified “Beyond Backpacking” — so hopefully, that’s what’s coming to me!
Beyond Backpacking is the one I wanted and I am receiving. Orginally I stated that the book was not published anymore and wondered why. But, you reaised a good ?. It all worked out GREAT.

There is also the long-out-of-print CDT Pocket Planner as well as the recent adventure narrative, Siku Kayak. The bibliography is on the author’s home page.
A thirty second search on amazaon revealed that beyond backpacking is still alive and well and ready to be bought for under $15.
Crazy Pete:
Yeah, I saw 3 under $15 — then a bunch of used ones listed at $69 and $70! Wonder who are these crazy sellers???
