Backpacking is where hiking and camping merge together.
If you are a hiker, you ought to give backpacking a try. I have been backpacking for a long time. Around 2009 I was awakened to the virtues of ultralight backpacking. These pages were written when I began to reexamine my backpacking methods with an eye toward reducing weight and having more fun.
