David Brower's "Going Light with Backpack And Burro" and his "Sierra Club Manuel of Ski Mountaineering," both from early 1950s, offer the same rough pattern for self-sewn ultralight tent that looks like one of the latest pup-tents from Go-Light.

Brower pushed the design slightly more in the "manuel" while in "Going Light," he made only a few, generalized and mostly wise comments about equipment. It was a nice book, with depraved notions about food.
