About Frugal Backpacker

We think everyone should be able to hike, climb, paddle, run, explore, and relax in the backyard that is Asheville and Western North Carolina. We use decades-long relationships to get samples and first-run clothing, gear, and accessories from top outdoor brands at unreal prices.

They’ll even help you explore new adventures with personal tips and advice.
