I am looking at creating my backpacking kit. I just wanted to know what people consider their top items in their backpacking kit that might not be considered "essential" (tent, clothes, cookware, etc) or what they'd recommend looking into to improve the (already great) backpacking/camping experience.

Note : alcohol is supposed to be 'non-essential' !

when i write a text with a line return, the line return dissapear. That's something i really hate with markdown. How i can force a line return in jerboa ?

if you want to share some tips with the backpacker community, you are welcome !backpacking@lemmy.ml. Have nice trails !

is it possible to post more than 1 picture with jerboa? with lemmy website ? if not possible, how you can i do it with an alternate method?

i don't want to make advertising, but i found an affordable product for backpacker : a 12 inch tablet with a weight of 520g.
When a 10 inch tablet is 400g, and a 13.3 inch laptop is nearly 1kg, a 12 inch/520g is a good screen size weight/ratio. What do you think ? (Note : no direct advertising for a product, only features and why it could be a good product for backpacker)

You don't know where to backpack in peru?
Vinicunca, also called Montaña de Siete Colores (literally: Mountain of seven colors), is a mountain in the Andes of Peru with an altitude of 5,200 metres (17,100 ft) above sea level

Do you want to see more content like this? let me know.

a good community should always have a mascot : our mascot will be this little girl with her backpack, just because a backpacker is not always a big man with beard !

So here is the challenge : post a picture of your backpacking trip with the mascot

there are other camping/hiking/thru-hiking communities and i would like to know what kind of content you want to see : long-term travel with a backpack? hiking only? what's for you the difference between backpacking and hiking?

in 2022, a french hiker who hike the PCT decided to create the first 3000 km trail in europe. you can follow an introduction in this youtube video. Enjoy : https://youtu.be/wzy8DzsSu5k Note : i'm not the girl on the video, don't send me personal message !

Durmitor, montenegro
you can hike through durmitor national park and camp near the lake. Montenegro is a country so diverse and stunning.

I HATE :

1. Users who put 20 hashtags on their toot
2. twitter cross-posting toot
3. bot which pollute timeline with pre-formated stupid toot

Let's continue the list !
