Hi guys!
If you're looking to scratch your backpacking itch beyond the BPL forums, I also use Reddit to talk with other enthusiasts, get ideas on gear and setups, and see trip pictures.
If you haven't tried it before, use this link:
http://www.reddit.com/user/IAMAfortunecookieAMA/m/backpacking
This takes you to a grouping of like, 12 or 13 "subreddits" that are specifically about backpacking and outdoor activities, including going ultralight. Hope this helps you as much as it helps me. It's also very easy to contribute to this site, so reach out! Grow the community!
Enjoy!
