backpacking

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?

in 2022, a french hiker who hike the PCT decided to create the first 3000 km trail in europe. you can follow an introduction in this youtube video. Enjoy : https://youtu.be/wzy8DzsSu5k Note : i'm not the girl on the video, don't send me personal message !

I created this community 3 years ago, expecting more users. Of course, it was the birth of lemmy, with no real niche communities i'm happy with the reddit exodus : i hope more users will join. If you want this community to grow, don't forget not to promote directly gears : no affiliate links, just your honest opinion about gears. By the way, i'm french, my english level is as low as my budget to buy ultralight gears 😬

Did an overnight trip in April, camping at what the state considers a wilderness site on the tea-colored Batsto River.

The New Jersey Pine Barrens is the largest wilderness on the East Coast between Boston and D.C. It's a unique environment, with a lot of cool ecosystems. No virgin forest here, as industry had its way with the land and resources for centuries.

This trip was something like 20 miles through Atlantic white cedar swamps and pitch pine forests.

It might not dazzle like the west at first glance, but it's a place I love more than most.

Hi, anybody in Lemmy backpacking these days? Could be a great community here, hope it gets content, I’ll try to add something.
