HikerToon: Sh*t Ultralighters Say

Ultralighters are always finding ways to reduce their pack weight. Everything from cutting corners off a foam sleeping pad to removing tags from clothing; it's all about saving weight. This idea, however, is a bit more....extreme.

I want to credit Brian's Backpacking Blog (briangreen.net) on this. I got the idea for this comic after reading an article there by the same name. A commenter by the name 'Section Hiking' made a joke about dropping letters from your name to save weight. The 'e' is just too heavy to bring into the backcountry, he said. Pretty funny, I thought. So, I drew it up.
