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.
Backpacking is a physically demanding activity -- much of the success and fulfillment you get out of the adventure depends largely on how your body is prepared to meet the challenges of the outdoors.
Traversing jagged and unforgiving terrain is a given in backpacking, which makes the ability to carry one’s own weight (plus the burden of outfit and gear) up a vertical, a basic physical requirement.
The ability to perform physically challenging activities specific to the backpacking sport is essential, not only to ensure optimum appreciation of the adventure, but also to prevent untoward accidents or mishaps that unskilled outdoor enthusiasts tend to suffer.
