About this Event

In take less. do more, Glen highlights the adventures in his life where every outdoor experience taught him powerful life lessons, which may go against the grain of popular thought but have been proven to change lives for the better.
Glen shares some key ways individuals can transform their lives:
Minimizing one's load can lead one to become more efficient and travel farther in the wilderness and in life. This can involve living within one's financial means, and Glen provides tips to do so.
Implementing generosity and gratitude encourages a more enriched and fulfilling life. Glen shares how he's seen this first-hand in his own life.
Forging relationships through curiosity will lead individuals to unexpected places and experiences. Glen shares examples of powerful experiences from his life.
In each chapter, Glen provides words of wisdom through his life lessons to give the reader ideas on how to embrace the "take less. do more." philosophy. He focuses on helping individuals find balance and add depth, joy, and meaning to life.
take less. do more: Surprising Life Lessons in Generosity, Gratitude, and Curiosity from an Ultralight Backpacker is a must-read for those who seek adventure in their lives, are looking to expand their community of connections, become unstuck in their circumstances, create more of what they want in life, and be of help and service to others.
All profits from the sale of take less. do more. will be donated to the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA), an organization involved in getting more people out into the wilderness.
Glen Van Peski is widely recognized by the trail name "Legend" for his legendary contributions to the backpacking community. A native Californian with a childhood rooted in the western outdoors, Glen's journey into backpacking began when his oldest son joined Scouts, and he led the Troop's backpacking program. Through those experiences, he became intrigued by lightweight backpacking and started sewing his gear. Find him online at www.glenvanpeski.com.
