A Note from the Editor

Thank you for visiting The Backpacker.tv. As someone who has backpacked for years now, I have always liked sharing my experiences on the trail, and the enjoyment of the Backcountry with others. However, as I did research for a hiking trip one day, I couldn’t find what I needed to make an educated decision on what I was going to need for that hike. So, I took my video camera and make a vid, that way if anyone ever searched that trail again. It would show up on Google, and others good get a good feel for that trail. Instead just reading about it on Wikapedia, or looking at still photo’s of someone else’s hiking trip. I put together this web site so hikers from all over the world (that pack a cell phone, camera, or small video camera) can share their experiences with others. Why spend all day searching YouTube to watch backpacking video, when you can come right here.

Read what people from YouTube, and others are saying about thebackpacker.tv:

It looks really good. Ive told my boss about it, and Ive showed it to a few people from Yosemite that work on our campus…they’re all really impressed.

hey, that’s a cool site. I checked it out a bit. Nope, I don’t mind you using my video because it gives credit to me (the author). Thank you.

Let me say I totally dig your site and I think it is long over due.

Hey, your site is awesome! What a great resource. I’ll be sure to tag all of my future hiking videos with thebackpackertv. I reallly like your videos too, packed with information and great scenery. You seem to take a mix of analytical and fun approaches, like I try to do.
