Backpacking

There are many reasons that people enjoy going camping. Whether it is to spend a day out by the lake and relax or just get away from the hussle and bussle of the city. Many people across the country like to go out and camp every once in a while. There are many activities that you can do while you are out camping. For instance many peoples favorite while at the lake is fishing and there is always the famous bonfire. Just like camping, hiking can also give you many experiences that you will never forget. You can go places that you have never gone before and that many people have never seen.

There is also another variation and more extreme version of hiking called backpacking. Backpacking is where you go out into the woods for a certain amount of time, it could be a few day or two or a whole week, and while on that trip you carry all of you equiptment you need for the week, all of your food and water, and anything you want to bring for entertainment. The huge advantage to backpacking and why it is becoming such a popular thing to do is that it allows you to go further out into the wilderness where there is no food or water available.
