I always figured that if you were out, farther than two days of steady
Hiking, from the nearest Road, in any direction, that connected to
somewheres else, that you would be in the "BackCountry", or Bush.
With that definition you would not find a lot of "BackCountry in
the EU, but some in the Scandinavian Countries, and mostly in their
Northern Parts. Same in Canada, and with Argentina, and Chile, except
theirs would be in the Southern regions. Here in Alaska, Two days
hike to the Road, puts you ON the Road System.
