Who or what is a backpacker? A backpacker is a person who combines hiking and camping into one activity. He packs his stuff in his backpack and off he goes to hike and camp in the backcountry where he might choose to spend one or more nights out there.

A backpacker’s gear should include food, shelter and clothes appropriate for the trip. There are countless camping and hiking gear that are available in the market today that could make the life of a happy camper easy: waterproof tent, clothes and shoes; every known insect repellant, solar charger, water sterilization kits and more.
