	Backpacking (travel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Backpacking as a form of travel is usually said to have originated in the 1970s with the advent of low-cost jet airplane fares.
		Backpackers are sometimes identified as a subculture of generally youthful travellers dedicated to budget travel.
		Backpackers can be of any age to theoretically be part of the backpacker scene and subculture; however, the vast majority of budget travellers are clearly in their 20s.

	INDEPENDENT BACKPACKER TOURISM: KEY TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN REMOTE MOUNTAIN DESTINATIONS
		Unlike members of commercial tours, independent backpackers are opportunistic (that is, open to new opportunities as they develop), flexible in itinerary, relatively undemanding regarding comforts and infrastructure, and often inclined to maximize their travel time by cutting expenses.
		Backpackers are not currently perceived as a significant economic and political force (hence the emphasis on "quality tourism," and the preference for mass tourism infrastructure).
		Backpackers who meet on the trail lose touch with each other, thus foregoing an important return on their investment, and reducing the perception that travel is an essential part of growing up.

		Urban backpacking is simply a vastly different game then its outdoor cousin, played on a different field with different rules and different rewards.

		Many of the boys, and their parents, came from urban areas and had never cooked in the wilderness before, so we prepared this information to help them out.
		We also realize that a new Scout going on his first hike, probably for the first time in his life, is "leaving civilization and Mom." We would like to suggest food for these inexperienced cooks that usually is nutritious, is always something he will eat, and is easy to fix, particularly when he is tired.
		This way, all food is together for a single meal and not lost throughout his backpack.

		Combined with the gothic architecture, the picturesque River Avon running through the middle and the artistic/cafe culture, a nice urban pit stop.
		Bag is packed (and fitted by a very helpful REI employee named Amanda) - weird to only be taking a backpack instead of a rolling suitcase of doom, but in a cool way.
