Introduction
Hello. I am a new backpacker without a lot of experience. I have recently hiked the Loveland section of the Buckeye Trail, and hope to hike the Caesar Creek section this summer.
What was your most embarrassing backpacking moment?

Packing too much junk in my pack when I first got started and then having trouble carrying all the weight.

What's the longest backpacking trip you've ever taken? (in mileage and/or days)

I did a 16 mile hike on the Loveland section of the Buckeye Trail one day. I have only hiked the BT two days in a row.

What was your funniest backpacking moment?

Wow. I can't think of anything funny. That is depressing.

What was your favorite backpacking experience?

My favorite was backpacking overnight in Pennsylvania in the winter a few years back. It was cold, but I learned a lot about keeping warm.

Please relate, in general terms, your backpacking experience.

I am very inexperienced, but enjoy learning from others and trying new methods of backpacking. I have been working to keep a light, but practical approach to it.

  •  Hi, Steve! Welcome to the Cincinnati Area Backpackers Meetup group! We've got a lot of hikes scheduled. Check out our calendar of events. Also read our "New Backpacker Orientation" document in our files area. That should get you off to a good start if you are new to backpacking or just new to our Meetup group. Friday we've got an event that's open to all skill levels. RSVP "yes" for directions. Thanks for joining up. I hope to see you at some meetings and on the trails! - ZuperDave
