Myanmar Backpacking History And Practice

By Pamela Roberts


Backpacking is one of the outdoor recreational activities. It involves carrying gear on the back in a backpack. People carry different forms of gear including clothing, cooking kit, shelter, bedding, food, and water. The activity lasts a varied amount of time, but must involve spending out at least one night. Resupply points and occasional drops of necessities may be included in the activity if the journey takes several weeks or months.

People are compelled by different reasons to participate in a backpack activity. While out there, the activities of good backpackers should impact the environment to the least level possible. Activities that help to minimize pollution include carrying garbage out, following existing trails, and causing no disturbance to the vegetation. In Myanmar backpacking is a culture that is well respected and valued by the locals. They adhere to the movement ethos in their activities while out.

The journey and activities of hikers are directed by the movement ethos. The movement ethos stipulates that backpackers should kill only time, keep nothing, leave only footprints, and take only photos. The individuals should be prepared to come across some level of difficulty during the quest. Difficulty comes in different forms including dangerous animals, heights, difficult terrains, adverse weather, and treacherous water crossings among others. Surviving the experience may require a survival gear and the necessary skills.

Some hiking sites have campsites for resting and sleeping at night before venturing out during the day. The campsites have fire rings, area maps, outhouses, and bulletin boards. Most campsites lack underbrush and are in form of level grounds. Campsites cannot be found in remote areas, which forces backpackers to find their own sleeping and resting spots.

Many pieces of equipment are needed for a successful backpacking experience. Like the name suggests, having a suitable backpack is mandatory. The backpack should be of the right size and strength. Besides the backpack, one should have suitable footwear and clothing to match the expected conditions. One must also carry food of the right amount and type and a sleeping bag. A survival kit is also needed plus the right level of skill.

Although not very necessary, some backpackers bring along some form of shelter. Other necessities include a mechanism of carrying and purifying water, stove, and a cook kit. When going on short trips, ready-made food is often carried or no food is carried at all if there are food sources in the area.

The weight of a backpack is of great importance in this exercise. The weight must never exceed 25 percent of what the carrier weighs. Therefore every item packed should be assessed for relevance a lot. One can find lightweight gear on modern markets, but at high costs.

Lightweight gear is easy to carry and has a high level of durability and utility. These products are made using various materials including specialty plastics, lightweight alloys, carbon fiber, and impregnated fabrics. Different countries exercise backpacking different, but Western countries tend to share a lot in this respect.
