Do You Actually Need a Lightweight Hiking Backpack? Going HEAVY AND CHEAP!

Backpacks keep getting lighter, but does that mean you have to go ultralight? In this video, I am taking a deep dive into the benefits of heavyweight hiking. I share my personal experiences carrying heavy loads on the Appalachian Trail, the trade-offs between ultralight and budget gear, and tips on how to train for carrying more weight on the trail.
What’s your take? Do you go ultralight, or do you embrace the heavyweight lifestyle? Let me know in the comments.
