Years ago, there were not a lot of bikepackers. It seems, with people learning more about other parts of the world, and people sharing bikepacking experiences on the internet, more people are now bikepacking.
Some people travel by bike and camp in tents. Others travel long distances by bike, but stay in hotels and similar places of accommodation.
Some people travel by public transport, such as buses, and hire bikes at their destination. But people have been doing this for years.
Some people travel for a few months. Others travel for years.
Some people don't have a lot of savings, so they need to camp out.
One bikepacker recently told me it was a cheap way of living. If you compare the cost of renting a home in one of the first world countries, bikepacking is a less expensive way of living. Plus you get to see interesting places, and meet interesting people.
The best bikepacking bikes use the pinion gearbox.
