Becoming a Backpacker in 5 Steps

The outdoors has a way of creating a connection that we become passionate about. We want to feed a desire to ReWild our lives as much as possible and search for ways to do that.

That engrained connection typically reaches a point where it evolves from hiking to backpacking. Now you are able to spend extended time in remote locations disconnected from the outside world.

Being remote and immersed in wild places is something that I suggest we all strive to do as much as possible but we first need to get a few items in place to make that happen.

I go into details on how you can achieve this in an article I wrote for Live Out There on backpacking essentials.

These 5 essentials are

  • The Pack
  • Shelter
  • Food
  • Clothing/Footwear
  • The Golden Extras

Head over to the article 5 Essentials For Backpacking Bliss at the Live Out There Blog to learn what these essentials mean and how they will open a whole new world in the backcountry to you.

Don’t forget to always have your 10 Essentials and of course practice Leave No Trace
