ARCTIC 1000: America's Most Remote Wilderness Traverse
Bozeman, Mont. (May 22, 2006) - On June 11, 2006, Backpacking Light's Publisher, Ryan Jordan, will join Roman Dial and Jason Geck, and begin an attempt of the first and longest ever unsupported trekking traverse of America's most remote, roadless, uninhabited wilderness, a distance of 1000 km (600 mi). For more information about their objectives, route, ultralight gear, media info, and live satellite dispatches from the expedition, visit Arctic1000.com and read about their progress.
Here is what Roman had to say about the tent
"Hi, I just wanted to tell you that the Cuben Fiber Mid you made up for our Arctic 1000 perfomed splendidly. It held up in wind and rain and was superlight, dry, and warm. I have been using this style of tent since the mid 1980's, both stock manufactured and custom designs and this was the lightest and most beautiful of them all. Well done."
