Backpacking for everyone

Do you love backpacking? Or maybe you’re just considering your first backpacking trip. Or maybe, a friend or your significant other is forcing you to go backpacking. No matter what the situation is, I can tell you that I found a ton of valuable information at this site, from what to pack to how to pack it and why. And some of the information here was a little non-conventional, but still useful. In fact, it may well be more useful than other backpacking sites. Fr example, I love the idea of carrying a hammock instead of a sleeping bag. They take up less space, weigh less and are likely to be more comfortable than a sleeping bag spread out on the ground.
