Wheelpacking instead of backpacking.

No longer is it necessary to be punished by lugging a backpack down the trail to spend precious time in the backcountry seeing nothing on the way except the tops of your hiking boots. With Wheelpacker your head stays up, your back and your gear stay dry and your back, legs, and feet are carrying less than half the weight. In fact when you are transporting your camping equipment by Wheelpacking on a decent, fairly level trail with a moderate payload you won't be doing much work at all.

Backpacking is great for the young, strong, and single but should the backcountry be exclusively for them? What about the rest of us? Surely we deserve a share of the natural world too. Almost everyone works most of the time these days and can't train to be capable of carrying a backpack. Many of us have families and while each member needs camping gear and supplies not everyone can carry them. Don't forget about those of us who are at middle age or older. We have more time now to spend on the trail but are not as able to do it. Wheelpacking is the answer. Let it carry the gear. It will serve the same purpose as a wheelbarrow except it is trail capable, hands-free, easy to roll and is easily pulled up and over uneven or obstructed terrain instead of being pushed down into it.

Wheelpacker isn't magic. It is an implement that makes the difficult task of transporting camping gear and supplies over frequently rough, backcountry hiking trails easier. Its user will still have to work, but not as hard and in considerably more comfort. Backpacking is recommended for strong hikers whose routes include mountain climbing, bushwhacking, or rock scrambling. Wheelpacking is recommended for those whose destinations instead lay along maintained hiking trails and who want to get there with everything they need and maybe some other things they want and enough energy remaining to use and enjoy them.

Wheelpacker is a remarkable and innovative development for those who enjoy outdoor recreation. Everyone who has hiked and camped along backcountry trails knows that their conditions vary widely. There are stream crossings, foot logs, blowdowns, roots and rocks that must be negotiated. Wheelpacker is designed by those who have been there. It accommodates the user's natural walking range of motion and it can go where it needs to go. It has different modes of operation that enable safe and pleasant travel along most maintained trails.
