If you are the type of person who likes the quiet and solitude of nature and are willing to hike a ways to get to it, backpacking could be your ticket to remote places. The rewards of backpacking can be many – places away from the crowds, undisturbed nature at its best, and the sense of accomplishment at reaching far away goals – just to name a few. One of the keys to a good backpack trip is to have the right backpack.

 Backpacks come in many sizes and styles. There are backpacks made especially for women. The women’s backpack is made with a shorter torso and other modifications that make it a more comfortable fit. There are even baby hiking backpacks which allow you to carry baby along for the ride on your hiking trips. There are many good brand name hiking and camping backpacks. The best backpack is the one that fits comfortably and carries the gear you need to carry. If you are just starting out in your backpacking trips, maybe all you need is a day pack. Whatever the size backpack you need, we have it. Just remember, stand up straight and carry only the necessities.

 At CampingWithJan, we have been backpacking for over thirty years. It only took us one backpack trip to realize that you don’t really need everything you think you do. It is a learning experience! We would love to share our experience and knowledge with all our customers. Because we are an internet business, we do not have the high overhead of the big stores. This means that we can offer better prices on very good backpacks. Our customer service is second-to-none. Please feel free to call with any questions you might have concerning any of our products, or even products you would like but do not see.
