Backpacking is the outdoor recreation of carrying gear on one's back, while hiking for more than a day. You take everything with you shelter, food, clothing, survival equipment, and experience what life was like back in the day, much simplier times. What I love about it, is disconnecting from day to day hetic life, and reconnecting with nature which is a beautiful, peaceful, spiritual experience. Try an overnighter to get your feet wet, then move into more longer trips. The peace, and joy that comes from this experience is what keeps me addicted, and craving to be back in the wild... 🏕🥾
