Hopefully we can all find some inspiration in it. To start things off, this caught my eye. The circumstances are unfortunate, but @ 34,000 miles he's the #1 logger in my eyes!

Not exactly ultra light, lol, but the guy has to be well into his 70s so he gets my respect. For you Californians, here's another interesting story. It's about a guy walking all over the state with his 3 mules. Maybe you'll see him somewhere... Interestingly, I met a French man hiking with 3 mules last summer when I was doing the Tahoe Rim Trail. He was on a 15,000 mile multi-year trek across the Americas (all of them), which was humbling to me just trying to complete the 165 mile TRT, lol. I can't remember his website/blog, but I'll post it here if I can find it.
