"If you've got the guts, we've got the goods."
The Backpacker opened its' doors in 1974 as Baton Rouge's first outdoor shop. With its philosophy of selection, service, and quality, The Backpacker has now grown into Louisiana's premiere wilderness outfitter, with a second store in Lafayette. As well as carrying everything for your travel and outdoor needs we are an official Boy Scout and Girl Scout Supply Distributor, and home to The C.C. Lockwood Gallery.
