  • 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.

  • How to Pack a Backpack a Correctly Organized Backpack Will Make Your Hike Even More Comfortable
    How to Pack a Backpack A correctly organized backpack will make your hike even more comfortable. Regardless of how in shape you might be, incorrectly packing a backpack can quickly lead to overexertion on even the simplest of hikes. Here are a few tips to make your backpack as comfortable as possible. Keep in mind, however, this is a general guideline. You may have to tweak these tips a little bit depending on what gear you decide to bring on a hike. Find the right backpack. First things first, be sure that your backpack fits you well and also will be adequate for your hike. If you are going on a simple day hike, you don’t need a humongous expedition pack. Likewise, daypacks are generally too small for multi-day use. Sleeping bag at the bottom. Even though most hikers will build upon these general rules to create their unique packing system, almost everyone agrees that your sleeping bag belongs at the bottom of the pack. On an external frame pack, this means it is lashed to the frame below the pack itself. Back breakers. Heavier items should be kept close to your back and higher up in your pack to help you maintain a center of gravity. This setup keeps you from breaking your back with heavy loads that pull your pack backwards or side to side. Avoid skewing the weight distribution to one side. Even complex suspension systems on internal frame packs can’t compensate for a dramatic difference in weight from one side to another. Plan for easy access.

  • Canadian Rockies Backpack
    Canadian Rockies Backpack PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Geology, alpine ecology, cultural history of the Canadian Rockies and wilderness skills will be the focus of this program that will take place in the Banff area of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada; home of clear trout streams, cold alpine lakes, glacial cut valleys and rugged mountains. We'll investigate alpine ecology and geology in this land of granite and metamorphic rocks, basalts, and marine sediments. We will also venture up the ice highway to the Columbia ice fields where we will be able to learn more about the glaciers that played such a large role in shaping this land. With luck, we'll also have a chance to see black bear, elk, and golden eagles, and the wildflowers should be beautiful. We'll be practicing both native survival and modern wilderness skills: backpacking, food preparation, orienteering, and minimum impact camping techniques. We'll practice these skills in alpine and sub-alpine forests, and in the lower elevation areas in grassland habitats. We want to expose you to the skills and knowledge that are needed for safe involvement in outdoor activities of all types. Course Syllabus OBJECTIVES: Academic and outdoor training goals ♦ To safely and effectively learn how to pack, prepare, and participate in a backpacking expedition to a remote area and to be prepared for a range of environmental conditions ♦ To understand general concepts of geology, stratigraphy, superposition, metamorphism, continental drift, and glaciation ♦ To increase ability to observe the natural world ACTIVITIES: Hands on learning in the field ♦ Leave-No-Trace Camping techniques ♦ Mapping and identification of geologic outcrops along hiking route ♦ Wildlife sighting ♦ Wilderness navigation ♦ Examination of alpine plants examples of dry vs.
