Wilderness backpacking
tips and advice

The Wilderness backpacking website is dedicated to providing useful information for wilderness campers and backpackers.


Adventure

wilderness backpacking Wilderness backpacking is a fantastic activity that presents opportunity for adventure and discovery. It can be done alone, with a partner, in a group or as a family.

There is undoubtedly something very special and unique about setting up camp miles from any civilization, about waking up and watching a sunrise deep in the mountains and that rewarding feeling of independence that comes with it.


Spectacular views

Exploring wild areas on foot is not only an opportunity to increase your wilderness awareness, you will also be able to see incredible views that sometimes can take your breath away. Many great places on our earth can only be seen by foot.


backpacking trips


My many backpacking trips during the last 30 years have given me many unforgettable moments and, lucky me, still there are many more fantastic places to visit and spectacular views to be seen.


Careful preparation

Backpacking can be a tremendously rewarding if you're prepared. When allocating your budget, a good pair of hunting boots or work boots should be one of your highest priorities. They might be expensive, but they're worth it. And, if you decide at a later date that backpacking isn't for you, you can still use them for other purposes.
