Demetri "Coup" Coupounas, the founder of GoLITE, is going to be in Portland next Monday evening at Maine Mountain Works to give a slide show and seminar on lightweight hiking.

Coup has hiked the John Muir Trail in California, Vermont's Long Trail and the Colorado Trail--all without resupply! Having hiked the John Muir and Long Trail myself (with multiple resupply stops), I can attest that that's quite a feat. It just goes to show what hikers can do when they pack really light and are thus able to cover more ground each day, and do it comfortably.

This will be a great show so don't miss out. The fun starts at 7PM, but you'd better get there early to get a seat.

Thanks for the tip Todd!
