About us
Welcome to Backpackers Seeking Trails And Kindred Spirits. This group is for anyone who loves spending time on the trail but sometimes finds the logistics, gear choices, or the prospect of heading out solo a bit daunting. Whether you are planning your first overnight trip or you are a seasoned hiker looking for reliable partners, this is a space to ask questions, share what you have learned, and find the support you need to get out there more often.
We believe that backpacking is always better with good company and a bit of shared knowledge. Our goal is to connect people who value safety, preparation, and the quiet camaraderie that comes from miles on the trail. We will be hosting informal meetups to discuss upcoming trips, gear troubleshooting, and route planning, with the ultimate hope of helping everyone find a steady hiking buddy. If you are looking for a community that prioritizes authentic connection over performance, you are in the right place.
