We receive a lot of nice compliments from our customers and those who watch our videos. Here are just a few of the things they are saying:

I have been asked by people here in the Stehekin Valley about my light weight hiking camping gear, they wanted to see it . I though it would be best to set it up so all could see it at once. So here is how it went down. On a Sunday I went to our small community Church, about 30 people where there, I asked our Preacher if I could make an announcement. So after the singing ended I walked up to the front. I have been paged as a bit of a black sheep so no one knew what to expect, I saw one person biting her lip. "Whether you are a Greek Orthodox, a Appalachian Snake Handler, a Mainline Presbyterian or like you all a Stick Pentecostal ------- On the High trails and Passes there is a new Religion, --------- hikelight.com, who's teaching are about Only The Lites, to day at one of our Sacred Sites, -------- The Bakery, you can view my camp gear. I need to leave now to set up my equipment if I can remember how". As I passed the Preacher's Wife she said "We will all pray for you". The Teaching at the Bakery was great, many new Converts and I topped it off with a Cinnamon roll.

"Steve,
This has been the best shopping experience that I have ever had for hiking equipment. You seem to know how important it is to a hiker to have the equipment in a hurry. I am doing the Long Trail in a week and a half and you got my order to me way before I expected it to be here. I am going to recommend your site to every hiker I know.
Thanks again,
Dan K"

"Steve thanks for the videos! Thanks to you my pack weight is under 11 lbs for 3 days! Thanks also for the great service on your website. Love the Mont-bell vest.

"Thank you for such an informative web site. I have carried 65 pound packs up to 13,000 foot altitudes and felt I had no choice but to suffer the pain of those endeavors... The thought of shouldering that pack again on the second day with my shoulders screaming in agony was enough to keep me from planning another trip of that sort to once every 2 years max.... Now I feel I can re-enter the wilderness experience again and actually look forward to the journey, not just the destination!"

"I am a Webelos leader and will be a leader (or assistant leader) in one of our local boy scout troops in March most likely....I have been studying your website now for weeks, taking notes and narrowing down my equipment list to fit my budget and level of commitment to ultra light concepts..... I am a 50 year old single dad with a 10 year old son..... It breaks my heart to hear the parents of my boys not feeling they can accompany their sons on their backpacking outings in scouting because if back/ knee problems ect .... If they only knew that this can be an incredible and comfortable experience....I feel like it is my responsibility to raise the awareness levels of dedicated parents to help them understand that backpacking isn't a sentence to a "torture chamber" but an incredible opportunity to get to know themselves, their boys, and our beautiful planet in intimate detail."

"Kudos to you and your willingness to share your knowledge , even if it doesn't include items from your company....THANK YOU!!!

"Dear Steve,
Just came across your site and can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy reading your articles and making up my wish list. Wish I could chuck my hiking boots but after 2 years of trail running shoes, sore feet and a couple of sprained ankles I’m sorry to say that trail runners/cross trainers, just won’t cut it on these rocky, wet trails in NH’s White Mountains or in the NY, Adirondacks. I can see how well they work out west on those smooth dirt switchbacks. Maybe I’ll take your advice and chop twenty pounds of my body weight. ( easier said …..) Thanks for the work that you do. Will be in touch soon.
Sincere regards,
Ben H"

"Excellent ideas. Love your presentation and the quick pace of them. Time is just right for an informative video.

"Thanks, Steve. I really enjoy your videos. With all of the terrible diseases that mosquitoes transmit, repelling them isn't just a matter of comfort. Per your videos, I bought some Permethrin and Picaradin. While the bugs are thick this time of year, I'm able to hike deep into the wilderness... string up my hammock and take a nap, and return home without a single bite. Thanks for giving the outdoors back to me.

"I remember when I was a Boy Scout of age 13, I took a 40-50 lb pack for a week long trip. I still can't believe I made it through! I've just been getting into lightweight packing, thanks a lot for all your videos and work. Cheers.
