Paul Cronshaw and Rik Christensen, longtime ultralight backpackers, will give a talk and demonstration about lightening your load in preparation for a backpacking trip.
They will bring gear for display, answer questions and show slides.
The presentation will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Multipurpose Room of the Goleta Library, 500 N. Fairview Ave.
Last summer, Cronshaw hiked the 211 miles of the John Muir Trail using a pack that weighed just a little more than 12 ounces.
