there are other camping/hiking/thru-hiking communities and i would like to know what kind of content you want to see : long-term travel with a backpack? hiking only? what’s for you the difference between backpacking and hiking?
I want to see any and all cool trips that are involved enough to necessitate carrying gear. Day hikes, multi-day through hikes, alpine mountaineering, even bumming around Europe during your gap year before university.
For me hiking is a day trip and backpacking is at least one night. I would keep the two separate as planning and what’s required are different.
I came for an alternative to r/ultralight. It seems as though this will be the catchall for any backpacking type community, at least for now.
yes, that’s the idea : urban backpackers, wilderness backpackers, anyone who embrace the philosophy : ’ I just want my lovely backpack ’
Hikes of alot of kind excluding the ones with car, tips about backpacking, trips someone did, videos of gear, tents to buy. Tbh I just wanna get to know the gear and make a good decision
I’ve always seen them as similar, but hiking to me means you’re back at home in the evening while backpacking involves setting up camp after hiking.
