Ultimate Ultralight Backpacking Guide for Durable Long-Distance Hikers

In this new updated 2024 version, the book gets a little fouler, has a few more chapters with a bit more knowledge, and has now embraced the AI Revolution with a new AI assistant bot that insists on interjecting itself by being a complete asshole to the author himself.
Trigger warning: There are plenty of triggers in here for sensitive people. This book is brash, vulgar, and offensive in many different ways that can trigger complete meltdowns in just about anyone who takes themselves too seriously.

” I like it (this book), the disrespectful tone, the no-holds-barred, non-balanced way of describing your experiences. Probably because it is just the opposite of my own writing. And a good complement. This book is intended to irritate the hell out of the reader.” Jörgen Johansson – author Smarter backpacking
