Backpacking in the Backcountry

Let's Chat about the Great Outdoors!

Backcountry backpacking is considered a type 2 fun.

Backpacking is an adventure that blends hiking with backcountry camping. It lets you broaden your horizons beyond the car campground to enjoy a richer, more immersive outdoor experience. A key distinction from day hiking is the size of your pack—your backpack (and you) must carry all of life’s essentials on your back. And you must choose those essentials with care.

Backpacking requires a few things to be successful. For example you might want to rent or buy a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, backpacking backpack, trekking poles, a water filtration system. Additionally you will want to bring dehyrated food, snacks, a map, and a compass. Additionally, it is always best practice to inform friends and family of your trip and when to expect you home so that they can be prepared in the event you do not return.
