You don't need to compromise safety to pack light. One of the first things you'll notice with a light pack is you're more agile. You're less apt to roll and ankle or get off balance and fall. You can hike quickly to more protected areas if there's threatening weather.

Some lightweight items actually cost less than their heavier counterparts. Your pack can be less expensive because it's the smaller version of a series. Things like your knife, compass, flashlight, and stove can be smaller, cheaper, but full-functioning versions. Much of your weight savings is just planning what to leave home. A good example is your cook kit. You may be using only the kettle to heat water for your meals, so there's no need to take the frying pan and dish. You've cut your weight by more than half by just leaving it home.

This all leads to planning which is at the core of lightweight backpacking. It might seem tedious to those who don't like to make lists or get technical with details. But most of the changes you'll make are things that you'll only have to do once. From that time forward, you'll enjoy the benefits of every little change. Even the box you store your gear in at home will be smaller and simpler.

Planning helps you avoid last-minute packing, too. Often those last few things you grab before you leave home, like unnecessary clothing, add extra pounds to your pack.

There will be some expense to make these changes, but you'll enjoy the advantages forever. For some, there can be an actual savings because the first thing you should do is quit buying and carrying "cool" things you don't really need. It's easy to walk through a backpacking store and grab items that will have you carrying a 70-pound pack. Resist the urge! No more impulse buying.

Most backpackers carry extra weight because they use gear that manufacturers make "bombproof." That may sound good, because it sounds safer. But those heavy materials are usually there because the companies don't ever want to see returns, even from hikers who are ridiculously hard on their gear. So it's easier to make the gear from heavy materials that can never break. And some of those heavier materials are cheaper because they're more common.
