Backpacking or Trekking combines hiking and camping in a single trip. A
backpacker hikes into the backcountry to spend one or more nights
there, and carries supplies and equipment to satisfy sleeping and
eating needs.
A backpacker packs all of his or her gear into a backpack. This gear
must include food, water, and shelter, or the means to obtain them,
but very little else, and often in a more compact and simpler form than
one would use for stationary camping. A backpacking trip must include
at least one overnight stay in the wilderness (otherwise it is a day
hike). Many backpacking trips last just a weekend (one or two nights),
but long-distance expeditions may last weeks or months, sometimes
aided by planned food and supply drops.
