Introduction
I am new to backpacking, although not to hiking and camping, and am looking forward to meeting you and getting out there!
What's the longest backpacking trip you've ever taken? (in mileage and/or days)

This one is easy for me, 0 miles and 0 days. I haven't yet had the experience of carrying everything I need to survive in only one trip from the car. My longest hiking trip would be two all-day (and light night) hikes with a night of camping (500 feet from the car) in between.

What was your most embarrassing backpacking moment?

It probably won't take me very long to have an embarrassing moment, and it will most likely relate to my ongoing goal to overcome my fear of heights. So far in hiking, it was freezing on the rope on Cloudsplitter at RRG, I didn't want to continue up or go back down (after a few minutes, and a little bit of help that was offered, I chose down).

What was your funniest backpacking moment?

This answer will most likely be linked to my future most embarrassing backpacking moment.

What was your favorite backpacking experience?

My favorite place to hike and camp is RRG, and it is too difficult to pick a favorite area/destination or hike.

Please relate, in general terms, your backpacking experience.

I love hiking and camping, but have never carried a tent and everything I need in my backpack. It is something I'm looking forward to, but will probably only attend one-night trips until I am more experienced.
