Is it possible to Backpack throughout Oahu, Hawaii?

This is going to sound lame, but I'm a LOST enthusiast, and huge backpacker. Last summer I backpacked all around Colorado, and it was great. But I wanted to bring my big backpack, tent and sleeping bag and go backpacking around Oahu. But I was wondering if it was too developed to really have a good time backpacking through the forest? Also is there still enough non-harvested nutrition growing to live off the land?

Thanks!

Answer
Oahu is a pretty densely populated area. There are legal campsites where you need a permit in order to camp. There are lots of homeless who camp illegally on certain beaches, but I totally would not advise doing that. I'm not sure how many places in the mountains where camping is feasible. I definitely don't think you will be able to graze your way across Oahu. You can get more info about legal camping at this web site:

I am visiting family in Dec and wanted to know if there are any legitament backpacking areas. Not really too worried about designated trail, just good land to roam on besides the beach.

Hey Caleb, welcome to Hawaii, ok? You know, answer to question depend on which island you visit, ok? If you visit Oahu, then not as many as otha island, ok? My personal fav for this gotta be Molokai, ok? Cause lotta great trail, and good up country place to camp, and lotta place to see, and not to big problem to do that, ok? Lanai good too, also, Big Island and Kauai, ok? Oahu more populated, land owners more protective, and lot more people try to do what you want, yeah? That make it more difficult, ok? But, still can do, just gotta know where, ok? I suggest you talk to family bout what you wanna do, they live hea, they know bout that sort thing, yeah? Not gonna tell you zactly where to go, cause depend on you and what you can do, ok? So, talk to fam bout this, they give you good info, less they just wanna get rid of you, yeah? My suggest stay way from Wainae sid eof island, less you go with some local or Hawaiian, ok? Cause lotta crazies run round inna forest, and not too happy see people in what they consider they own backyard, yeah? Crazy guy with machete not fun thing, ok? Nice trails start ova on North Shore, go up onto mountain, but you gotta know what you do, yeah?
