Flashpacking

June 30th, 2006 Wade

CNN recently wrote an article about “flashpacking” http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/06/30/trv.us.flashpacking.ap/index.html

Flashpacking is apparently backpacking with lots of technology (i.e. laptop, digital camera, usb cords, digital video camera, etc.) By backpacking the article refers to travel backpacking, not the type you would do in the wilderness. Although I guess this would apply to a wilderness backpacking trip in which you brought all of your gadgets. Sounds good to me and Emile is definately excited about it because it means he can join the flashpacking craze and he already has all the gear he needs, sans backpack

We here at outdoorzy haven’t exactly decide to add flashpacking to our list of activities yet, but we’re thinking on it. I mean it is done in the outdoors and it does involve a backpack, right?
