BurroCross is self-reliant (unsupported) backcountry travel on foot (hiking or backpacking) in the company of a burro (Equus africanus asinus[1][2]) where, similar to Overlanding the experience of the journey itself is the principle objective.
(Unlike Overlanding, BurroCross is non-mechanized travel that relies on the capabilities of a burro companion and thereby presents an entirely new skill focus required for the journey.)
BurroCross is a non-competitive sport or recreational activity that proceeds at a walking pace and is centered on utilizing the overland capabilities of burros for companionship and sharing the burden of carrying the gear necessary to sustain the journey.
With BurroCross, gone are the days of canvas tents and Dutch ovens in favor of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene composite fabrics and 3-oz fuel-efficient stoves.
There are many online and published resources for light and ultralight backpacking gear that can be referenced to outfit a BurroCross adventure.
