  • Evolution of Traditional Bags FRANSISCA WIDJAJA INTRODUCTION
    Evolution of Traditional bags FRANSISCA WIDJAJA INTRODUCTION A bag or usually known regionally as a sack is a common tool in the form of a non-rigid container. The use of bags predates recorded history, with the earliest bags being no more than lengths of animal skin, cotton, or woven plant fibers, folded up at the edges and secured in that shape with strings of the same material. Despite their simplicity, bags have been fundamental for the development of human civilization, as they allow people to easily collect loose materials such as berries or food grains, and to transport more items than could readily be carried in the hands. The word probably has its origins in the Norse word baggi,from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European bʰak, but is also comparable to the Welsh baich (load, bundle), and the Greek βάσταγμα (bástagma, load). Cheap disposable paper bags and plastic shopping bags are very common in the retail trade as a convenience for shoppers, and are often supplied by the shop for free or for a small fee. Customers may also take their own shopping bags to some shops. Although paper had been used for purposes of wrapping and padding in ancient China since the 2nd century BC, the first use of paper bags (for preserving the flavor of tea) in China came during the later Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). ARHUACA MOCHILA This is a traditional Colomian bag called as Arhuaca knapsack in Englsih, or tutu iku in ika. Popular as a Colombian artisan bag made by Arhuaco people of the Sierra Nevada.

  • View Packing Lists
    BOLD & GOLD EXPEDITIONS GENERAL PACKING INFORMATION All participants are responsible for bringing the items on the following list with them to check-in. Please check with your teen that every item is actually going into their pack before leaving home. Please take note of additional items necessary for your specific programs (see pages 12-18 in the handbook). The quality of clothing and equipment can have an enormous impact on the health and happiness of participants. When selecting equipment, size and weight can be important. BOLD & GOLD can provide many of these items, including clothing from an extensive outdoor clothing lending library; please call with any questions or to rent any gear. PACKING Since your teen will be carrying their own equipment as well as a portion of the group’s food and gear, choose personal gear that is lightweight, warm and easily packed. All items should be packed in a backpack that has a minimum capacity of 60-70 Liters, and should be capable of carrying 25-30 lbs. It should be an internal frame design and have adjustable hip and waist belts. If you will be renting a backpack from BOLD & GOLD, please bring gear in a duffel bag to check-in. CLOTHING Your teen will be living outside, so having the right clothing is important for their comfort and safety. There could be rain, snow, hot sun, or strong winds on your course. Our clothing list reflects the importance of the “layering” principle. Dressing in several light layers rather than one heavy layer allows them more flexibility as the weather and workloads change.

  • Nifty Camping Tips, Tricks & How-To's
    Nifty Camping Tips, Tricks & How-To's Backpacks: Backpacks should be fit properly to the frame of the person that will be carrying it. Women and shorter men will want a smaller-sized pack, while medium to tall men will want a larger pack. An average pack will run between 60 to 75 liters (3500 to 4500 cubic inches) for shorter trips, while your larger canoe or long trip packs will run from 80 to 100+ liters (4800 to 6100+ cubic inches). Be sure that a backpack fits you properly before you buy it (ask the salesperson for help), an improperly fitted backpack can cause you a lot of pain on the trail. Any decent outdoor equipment store will have experienced sales staff -- If they don't seem sure about what they're talking about, then you're probably in the wrong store. When carrying your backpack, you'll want your heaviest items (like food) towards the top of the pack and up close to your back, you'll also want the load to be balanced from side to side so that the left side doesn't have more weight than the right. Load up your pack and experiment with the load- leveling straps and hip belt before you hit the trail, your load should be carried partly on your shoulders and partly on your hips. You can also use these straps to vary the amount of weight on your hip belt if your shoulders start getting tired or sore -- Your hips can transfer that weight through your body much easier than your shoulders alone can.

  • Camp Layout and Setup (Bearmuda Triangle)
    Camp Layout and Setup (Bearmuda Triangle) The primary objectives of laying out camp are to find a safe sleeping area and to leave as little trace that you were there as possible. This means respecting wildlife that might be interested in your "Bearmuda Triangle" and insuring that you don't contaminate ground water or leave anything behind. The Bearmuda Triangle is formed by the (1) the fire ring & cooking (dining), (2) the bear canister, and (3) the sump (cooking wastewater) "smellable/bear areas". The Backpacking Equipment List indicates which items are stored in the bear canister [BC] and sump or dining areas [SD]. The tenting area should be safely outside this triangle because animals are likely to travel between these areas, and scouts don't want to be in their path. To prevent being a bear lollipop, no food should EVER be in the tent, packs (with cover) should be hung outside, and a sleeping bag stuff sack or tent bag NEVER used as a bear bag. Shoes should not be left on the ground. Actually, in the mountains, bears are not the only "critters" to guard against. Scouts may encounter raccoons, porcupines and skunks. All are attracted to smells or salt and can "maul" a pack. Below is a simple illustration of an appropriate camp layout. Hey! If you think this is being overly cautious or want to read more, check out the National Park Services (NPS) Bears and Leave No Trace pages, the USDA Forest Service (USFS) Outdoor Fire Safety Tips and USFS -- Safe Campfires pages, a Philmont Guidebook to Adventure (PHL) or the "Wilderness Use Policy of the Boy Scouts of America" (WUP).

  • Expedition Canoeing Helpful Hints This Pamphlet Contains Information On
    ---------------------- --- Expedition Canoeing Helpful Hints This pamphlet contains information on: 1. What to pack and how to pack for a nine person canoe trip (eight + guide) - Assumes three canoes for nine people - What goes in the three personal gear packs - What goes in the kitchen (kettle) pack - What goes in the two food packs This four page document describes what to take, what not to take and how you should pack it all so that it can be carried in ONE portage trip. 2. A great list for what to put into a "back woods" First Aid Kit - Once the kit is assembled, everyone in the crew should know what is in the kit and where it is at all times. 3. A very useful crew "duty roster." The items can change but it must be written down and posted where all crewmembers can see it at each campsite. This stops a lot of bickering and prevents a lot of useless questions in camp. 4. A very short gear list provided by the Aquatics Base staff that describes what you should bring on a canoe trip, what the crew should bring and what the camp provides for the crew. This is very similar to what the Northern Tier base camps will provide. My name is Richard Knieriem and I direct the Northern Tier training program at the Aquatics base on Allatoona. Please don't hesitate to call me with questions about your crew or gear or plans concerning extended canoe trips into the wilderness. My cell number is 678-438-4273.
