Except for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen（边民），

who traveled the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources

of wealth such as fur and gold For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achieving

what one day would be called the "American Dream".

Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as an entertaining activity. Shouldering

a pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television and traffic promise an exciting

experience. Testing one's stamina（耐力）and skills is challenging, and regaining a sense of

one's place in the natural world can be rewarding.

Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length of time and can be enjoyed

alone or with friends. Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two.

The backpacker and his friends have only to decide on their destination and then organize the

all-important equipment, whose contents they must depend on the trip. A map, a compass, a

flashlight, along with food, and extra clothing can be found without much difficulty. Once the

backpackers have left word about where they go in a note on the refrigerator door or in a

message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that will lift the

spirit and promote the soul. Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age

of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo , who did indeed belong to

the age of the frontier.

him I remembered my own dilemma a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him

act of kindness! That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled

with joy about what I had gotten to do. How I wish this chain of kindness could continue all

Over the world with your help! That is why today I specially share my story with you again!
