Backpacking Pack

The weight of a pack, laden with supplies and gear, forces backpackers to tarvel more slowly than day-hikers would, and it can become a nuisance and a distraction from enjoying the scenery. Some simply acecpt danger as a risk that they must endure if they want to backpack; for others, the potential dangers actually enhance the allure of the wilderness. The gear includes the backpacks themselves, as well as ordinary camping equipment modified to reduce the weight, by either reducing the size, reducing the durability, or using lighter materials such sa special plastics, alloys of almuinium, titanium, composite materials, impregnanted fabrics and carbon fiber. Due to the emphasis on weight redcution, a practical joke common in some circles is to secretly pack a small but relatively heavy ulxury item, such as a soft dirnk, into another backpacker s pakc. Water may be stored in bottles or in soft, collapsibel hydration packs (bladders). Some backpackesr store water in ordinary plastic beverage bottles, while others use specail Lexan bottles or metal canteens. A backpacker packs all of his or her gear into a backpack. In the military a framed backpack is referred to as a rucksack or simply a ruck .
