Hiking, more than camping really, is definitely limited by the amount of stuff you can carry (unless you’re hiking to a campsite which some nice person in a car has offered to set up ahead of you . . . just make sure you get there before they’ve drunk all of the beer and nabbed the best sleeping pad).
