Backcountry Camping: Tips, Tricks and Guides

For those you truly want to escape the crowds to undiscovered wilderness, backcountry camping is the way to go. For the true backcountry experience, the only way to get there is by foot or hoof and an occasionally bicycle wheel. The backcountry is not a place for motorized vehicles, packs of people, or noise. To experience all the outdoors has to offer, you need to take the trail least traveled.
