Offsite camping? Backpacking?
rob
A few of my buddies and I are planning to fill out back packs with asmuch stuff as we can and go hiking for 3 day 2 nights. Im not sure what this hobby would be called. We arent staying at a camp site just wherever we decide to. Any one wanna help me out? What is this called?
Answer
It is called backpacking, primarily done in wild lands such as wilderness area's and national forests. Staying just anywhere can be a problem because the land is either owned by somebody or managed by a federal agency and permits will be required. Start with looking up where public lands are near you and look for nice hikes to enjoy near you. Here is a reference to find a nice hike near you
