The popular outdoor activity of backpacking consists of carrying the required gear in a backpack on a hike into the wilderness and then camping for the night. Backpacking trips may consist of one night or several weeks and backpackers may travel to public campgrounds or journey long distances into the back country. Extended camping trips can be aided by planned drops of food and supplies

Travel Backpacking
Backpacking can also refer to the practice of carrying clothing and supplies in a backpack while traveling through foreign countries. Instead of journeying into the wilderness, travel backpackers explore the sights and sounds of different cities and cultures. Rather than sleeping outside, travel backpackers often find inexpensive hotels and hostels in which to spend the night and use public transportation to travel between destinations. Europe is a popular travel backpacking destination, although backpacking in Asia is becoming increasingly common. -
