I created this community 3 years ago, expecting more users. Of course, it was the birth of lemmy, with no real niche communities i'm happy with the reddit exodus : i hope more users will join. If you want this community to grow, don't forget not to promote directly gears : no affiliate links, just your honest opinion about gears. By the way, i'm french, my english level is as low as my budget to buy ultralight gears ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

To be honest, i'm a newbie in real backpacking : my first experience was a one year gap to visit south east asia with a backpack. But that doesn't happen as in the movies or youtube video : south east asia is very hot, even a 4 kg backpack with 1 water liter you have to carry any time is just impossible. At the end, i put my backpack in a rolling suitcase ๐Ÿ˜ That's why i want to learn from real backpacker, and i like open-source too, so lemmy is the right place for me
