"Examine everything you carry."
-Glen Van Peski

Glen Van Peski, engineer, outdoor gear innovator, and author of "Take Less, Do More: Surprising Life Lessons in Generosity, Gratitude, and Curiosity from an Ultralight Backpacker," shares with Janell "his ultralight ethos" of living with "the lightest possible backpack."

Glen's extraordinary journey, from exploring California's western outdoors to founding Gossamer Gear, a leading ultralight backpacking equipment company, offers profound insights into how minimalism in hiking extends to life. We celebrate his adventures on trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and his explorations in Japan and Europe, where he has gleaned invaluable lessons on generosity, gratitude, and curiosity.

Order Glen's new book for all the men in your life. It is the perfect Father's Day gift. Here are two ways to order:

1. Amazon. If you email Glen directly at glen@glenvanpeski.com and let him know you ordered the book on Amazon (provide the order number, please), Glen will mail you a signed bookplate to personalize your book. It won’t be there in time for Father's Day, but it would be an excellent free add-on.
   
   
2. For a personalized signed copy, order directly* from Glen at glen@glenvanpeski.com. Glen accepts VENMO, so once he receives $25/per book ordered via VENMO, he will send a signed book, plus two mini-themed lip balms, in a custom mailer to the continental US address (or addresses) of your choice. *Include the address (or addresses) and name(s) to whom you want the book sent and personalized to in your email.
