Overview

You're used to car camping, but now you want to level up. What equipment will you need to bring? How can you have everything you need, but still be able to carry it? Backpacking opens up a new world of camping by taking you away from crowded campgrounds. Experience nature away from the hustle and bustle of human activity and see how different that can be!

Investiture Achievement Connection: This Honor is related to the Investiture Achievement requirements for FRONTIER VOYAGER Outdoor Living and FRONTIER GUIDE Outdoor Living which require completion of this Honor or one of 4 other Honors, not previously earned.

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

13. Participate in a weekend backpack trip of at least five miles (8 km) to a site not accessible by a vehicle and cook your own meals.
