The term "backcountry" can mean a number of different things. For example: wilderness, primitive area, off the beaten path, unsettled territory, an area with no road access, away from civilization, areas good for backpacking, or traveled by pack trains (horses, mules and donkeys), and other definitions. They can be mountains, deserts, swamps, grass-lands, alpine, arctic regions, just about anything. What someone did or does in one of these regions to make money differs from region to region and may be dependent upon the resources available there. Examples from earlier times might include trapping, hunting, lumber, mining, Photography, surveying, fishing, guides, farming. Today, guided tours, oil drilling, mining, helicopter skiing, forestry, lumber, Biology, photography, hunting, emergency rescue, and some people, I would suppose, even try to make a living in the backcountry by looking for big-foot. The last suggestion is a bit of a stretch, but you get the idea.
