A Backpacker Zombie is a traveller with a backpack and summer walking clothes who turned into a zombie. Backpacker zombies appear at beaches, shelters, poor streets and the university, and in forest camp scenes. Men and women wear the same outfit of denim shorts, a T-shirt and sneakers or hiking boots.
These zombies always carry a bag on the back. Every Backpacker Zombie carries a Hiking Backpack, a Big Hiking Backpack or a Small Backpack. A Fanny Pack is usually worn on the waist. So a backpacker is a quick way to get more carrying space early in the game. A packed sleeping bag may also hang under the backpack. The pockets often hold a Passport, and also cigarettes, a spork and small keepsakes. A survivor who needs a bag should Loot every backpacker on the road.

Where Backpacker Zombies Spawn
Backpacker zombies spawn in small numbers in several kinds of places. They rarely make up the crowd at beaches. These beaches are near Riverside and Irvington. They very rarely make up the crowd at shelters. These shelters are in Louisville and Rosewood.
Poor streets in Louisville and Chapelmount Downs very rarely have them. The university near Chapelmount Downs and Louisville also very rarely has them. Navy sites also very rarely have them.
Random story scenes also spawn backpackers. These scenes are a forest camp, a forest camp where the campers were eaten, and a rocker party. The game builds each scene when the area first loads. A camp in the woods is a good place to find a backpacker.

Weapons on Backpacker Zombies
A Backpacker Zombie can carry a Cheap Sleeping Bag (Packed). It hangs at the bottom of the backpack, on both small and big bags. The sleeping bag can be taken from the corpse and used to sleep on the road.
The weapons the game can leave stuck in this zombie or in its holster, and where they sit.
