I currently live in Atlanta, GA with my lovely wife and am Director of Client Services and Technical Writer for a software company, but I have been camping for longer than I can remember.I used to go camping with my family, at a very young age in a pop-up camper, then with my father, in an old Volkswagen bus. Since then, I have graduated to backpacking with friends in the wilderness. When my job will allow, I hit the trail as often as possible.Over the years, I have researched and tested ways of lightening My pack. This long-time search has turned me into a Gram Weenie and I become obsessed with obtaining the lightest pack possible. When I mention, to other backpackers, what I do to lighten my load, some think I am crazy and other seem to like the ideas and have adopted the tips into their own pack.Check me out at www.swlowe.com
