Get Started with Backpacking
I've written before about car camping , and now that you're an expert car camper (or want to skip a step) you want to try backpacking. I have to say, other than climbing, no outdoor activity seemed as daunting to me as backpacking. But now that I have been once, which definitely qualifies me to write about it, it's clear that backpacking can be pretty easy and fun. This post is to help get you over the initial hurdles that might keep you from trying; it's not to teach you how to backpack, but I will include some links at the end with helpful info.
