Backpacking
Hiking and camping are the two components of backpacking. If you walk for a day in the woods, you can say you wetn hiking. If you bike or canoe to a campsite and sleep outdoors, you can say you went camping. But only if you carry all your supplies into the wilderness and spend the night you can say you went backpacking. Backpacking requires you to be self-sufficient. You don't have a car to transport your belongings or a house to come back to at night. Whether you spend one night or a hundred nights hiking and sleeping outside, you can consider yourself a backpacker. Walking is the most basi form of transportation and the only one that allows you to move slowly enough to truly see the natural environment around you. Backpacking is about physical exertion, personal challenge, exploration, oneness with nature, and personal fulfillment. You don't have to be athletic or naturally coordinated to backpack - you just need positive attitude.
