Beginner Backpacking Mistakes to Avoid
Written by Jacob Deutsch
No matter how experienced a hiker you are learning from those who have more miles under their boots (or trail runners) than you will have a huge impact on your ability to successfully complete, and enjoy a thru-hike.

The hosts of Backpacker Radio are no different. They have made just as many, if not more, mistakes than every other thru-hiker.

Here is an abridged version of the list of the nine biggest backpacking mistakes they compiled, read it here.
