Talk:Tramper

Why is this not just part of the Backpacking (wilderness) article
The concepts seem identical to me, just that "Tramping" is what the activity of wilderness backpacking is called in New Zealand. I suggest that this article be merged into the [Backpacking (wilderness)] article. Tom (talk) 13:05, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Also used in shipping?
I think that this term is also used in shipping: see the term "Tramp trade". Thomas.Hedden (talk) 13:26, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
