Today I spoke with Henry Shires owner of Tarptent - a manufacturing company specializing in ultralight shelters.

Henry has enjoyed backpacking since his pre-teen years. Some of his recent trips include a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail and section hikes along the Colorado Trail.

In this episode, you'll discover the gear that Henry carries on his back, and you will hear a detailed description of each of the tarptent shelters that he manufactures.
