I created [email protected] to focus on, as it says, backpacking in the wilderness, regardless of ultralight, lightweight, luxe, etc. The qualifier there is that it is wilderness that follows Leave No Trace principles. I like a backpacking community that is broader, including wilderness and urban backpacking and hopefully discusses things like gear, food, routes, safety, communities, etc.

all backpacking communities are welcome : we offer an alternative to reddit and i'm happy with all these new communities.
