There is a difference between traditional touring and bikepacking. I do agree that with the popularity of bikepacking and the bikepacking-specific gear and the improvements in same, the difference is getting blurred.

Where I live there are long 100+ mile trails/routes in the mountains that traverse both road, gravel road, dirt road, single-track, technical single-track, stream crossings, fast descents and steep ascents in all terrains, etc all in the same tour. What would we call that? Biketourpacking? lol
