Ahh...for a minute I thought the poster meant wilderness backpacking/camping, due to the forum he posted it in, but he means 'Backpacking' in the sense of travel style. Like, going backpacking in Europe, staying in hostels, travelling around for months on end with only a pack on your back....so backpacking in that sense is travelling on the cheap, and really budget travel.
But some Backpackers DO incorporate camping into it.
