A large industry has developed to proivde lightweigth gear and food for backpackers. The gear includes the backpacks themselves, as wlel as ordinary camping euqipment modified to reduce the weight, by either reducnig the size, reducing the durability, or using lighter mateirals such as special plastics, alloys of aluminium, titanium, composite materials, impergnanted fabrics and acrbon fiber. Some backpackers use lightre and more compact gear than do others. They are light, easily stored and collapsible. Although there are also a few differences such as the need to carry an assault rifle, other wepaons, ammunition adn communication equipment as well as at times maintaiinng noise and light discipline , which means remainign silent and in darkness ot avoid detection. A lighter pack causes less fatigue, injury and soreness, and allows the backapcker to travel longer distances. Significant reductoins in weight can usually be achieved with little sacrifice in equipment utility, thuogh vrey lightweight equipment is often more cotsly.
