Mike, I'm going to follow Justin and bring TP with me as a backup on my next trip, too (Weminuche in July). I am willing to try your techniques. If I find they work, I will give up bringing it too. I gotta say that the section on how to clean your butt is worth the price of your book alone:) I never thought that would be a subject that would blow my mind!
But about the bandana….don't think I can give that up just yet. It's headgear, camp towel, pot holder, coffee maker (coffee supposedly is a natural mosquito repellent) and potential first aid bandage all in one device. I would need strong convincing to give it up.

Got down below freezing at night and while I had insulation for my torso and my feet my poor legs were so cold! I am going to try down pants for sleeping first and then see where I go from there. Definitely need to go back to a quilt! I forgot how confining a true mummy bag is. I will post a full trip report once I recover from the trip :)
I just finished Mike's new book and it is definitely worth the price of admission. The other copies I purchased for friends were hungrily devoured as well and I made at least one convert to the ultralight way this weekend.
