Backpacking Light Print vs. Online Magazines: Vision for 2006 and Beyond

Over the course of the past several weeks, BPL Premium Members have expressed some confusion and concern about the role of the online vs. print format of Backpacking Light. The confusion is completely warranted. There exists no other publication in any industry that we know of, that follows this publication model, so we certainly don’t expect everyone to completely understand the rationale behind something that seems to fly into the face of conventional expectations. Thus, the purpose of this letter is to clarify some of these issues, and provide a response to some excellent feedback from our subscribers.
