The best about backpacking? Everything you need is in the pack...or at least most of it. I usually keep my tent packed outside at the top of the pack. Depending upon how strong you are will determine the pack you carry and the weight. Backpacking eliminates a lot of the heavy stuff and enables one to keep the focus on essentials. Like the song says, "I like to go a-wandering along the mountain track. And as I go I like to sing, my knapsack on my back."

Day hikes is all I've ever done. I've carried lots of bottled water, lunch, hammock, rain gear and my helinox chair. I love shouldering a pack. I'm usually the pack mule, and I enjoy it. I guess the thing I enjoy most is going places not obtainable any other way. Charlie's Bunyon, Smokey Mtns Nat. Park. This was probably my most favorite day hike.

Freedom to go where you want.
Making your life small and portable.
Going where others fear to tread.
Seeing the critters.
