Welcome to The Backpacking Site. You'll find a little bit of everything related to backpacking here. Stories, gear reviews, photos, advice, and more.

My own preference is for lightweight backpacking. To understand why, visit the page, Ultralight Backpacking. I never carry more than twenty pounds now, even on week-long trips, and I hike in running shoes. I haven't had a blister in years, and I love those twenty-mile days.

Don't want to give up that forty-pound load? That's okay. There's plenty here for you. Below are the primary pages of the site. You can follow them to where you want to go.

Backpacking Gear has information, reviews, and articles related to every type of equipment. You'll find specific product information, and general tips and advice about choosing and using what's out there.

Backpacking Articles And Stories is just that. My own adventures can be found here, as well as articles from all over offering advice, information or stories.
