Bokka is one of the oldest and most unusual professions in Japan. This is the name given to porters who deliver goods to hard-to-reach mountainous areas. 
No, these are not shots from the game Death Stranding, but representatives of the unique Japanese profession of bokka.
These guys deliver to remote villages of Oze and the Japanese Alps, where there is no infrastructure and where it is impossible to get by transport.
Often, such people are located high in the mountains, so you have to sweat a lot.
They say that bokka can take 100-140 kg of boxes at a time, and game designer Hideo Kojima was inspired by them when he was working on his game.
