what type of content you want to see here?
there are other camping/hiking/thru-hiking communities and i would like to know what kind of content you want to see : long-term travel with a backpack? hiking only? what's for you the difference between backpacking and hiking?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've always seen them as similar, but hiking to me means you're back at home in the evening while backpacking involves setting up camp after hiking.
as far as i understood, there is 'dayhiking, hiking, thru-hiking....'.depending on the length of your hike.
I will associate hiking with mountains and nature For me, backpacking is more general : city travelling or include electronics and more 'nomadic' way of life, not focussing only on mountains and nature. The difference/challenge with 'travelling' is to have only a backpack when you are a long-term traveller.
