316-Basecamping

Show notes

When we think about hiking there are two pictures that typically come to mind. The first is of moving from place to place over multiple days, carrying everything on our backs, sleeping in a small tent, then moving on and repeating the process the next day. The second picture we think about is driving to a nearby destination hiking for part of the day with a ‘smallish’ pack, and then returning to your car before driving home. But why is that?

In this podcast episode we look at ‘basecamping’ as an alternative to create a different type hiking adventure whereby you hike from and return to a central location. www.australianhiker.com.au
