It seems to be huge in Australia, and from what I heard, Europe.

Why don’t people do that in America? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen two filthy dudes with huge backpacks come into my local grocery store in Michigan, but other than that, it doesn’t seem like people backpack here.

In Australia, you can sleep at hostels, work at rural Outback farms/ranches, and have every one of your backpacking whims taken care of.

Quite odd.

Is the money brought in cash or in credit card? but some rural countries might not accept it. Do you sleep in motel or tents? Do you eat cooked food or take away? Where can I find more info on backpacking?

For my outdoor education class, I need to know basic facts about a day of backpacking. How far did you go in one day? How long did you sleep? When did you cook? That sort of thing. Thanks!

I have a 2 person backpacking tent. When using the rain fly and after a full night’s sleep, the inside of the tent is completly damp. Is this from normal tranpiration of the people inside? How do I reduce the amount of moisture or completly stop it? Is it just the tent that I have?
