How many people backpack?

#1

Here’s another one, or two.

Does anyone know, even approximately, the total number of U.S. citizens who backpack each year in the United States (defined as hiking in the woods with a backpack and camping out at least one night)?

Does anyone know, even approximately, what percentage of U.S. citizens currently living have backpacked once or more in the United States (defined as hiking in the woods with a backpack and camping out at least one night)?

Thanks. I’m trying to get a sense of how many of us backpack each year and what percent of the population it adds up to over time.

Dear Webmaster,

Please delete this particular thread.

Mistakenly, I began thre thread twice, and as in this one I spelled my own name wrong, this thread should be the one to go.

Thanks.
