>>2766569You’re on the wrong website. Only a handful of people here have ever traveled specifically for a backpacking trip, which you’ll have to do if your choices are desert or boreal forest (assuming you don’t live in one of those environments).
>two weeksNot sure if this is just a meme or not. Two weeks is a very long trip, generally necessitating a resupply. That’s a lot of food to carry. As an example, I bring high calorie instant slop on trips longer than one night. Food for a 4 day trip fits snuggly in a 5 liter bag (it might be 8 liters).
>forest or desert>muh bugs!Logistics are the real issue. First there’s getting to the place you plan on hiking. It’s always a flight then a shuttle, and an Uber or taxi, and two nights in a hotel. Then you have to plan your route. Deserts require extra attention to water, boreal forests are more likely to have bears, and National Parks often require staying in designated sites (not all of them, but many).
