View Full Version : hiker trash
I have read on here about hiker trash. What do you have to do to become hiker trash? If you just have to have a shirt made that says HIKER TRASH I could probably make one. Lets say that I become hiker trash what do I have to do then to represent. Just trying to figure stuff out.

Do a search on hiker trash. Sgt Rock said I was hiker trash. I consider that the highest compliment considering the source.
I think it derives from being cheap and not getting completely outfitted by Dick's employees yet somehow managing to survive on the trail day after day.
Rock once said my gear was so old, the first-aid kit had leeches in it. I still don't know how he knew.

Hiker Trash. If you're enjoying the trail with each step, and agonizing some of those same steps,
If you're smiling with some trail friends at the end the day or a resupply stop
If you're thinking that you've found a part of what you want your life to be when you're on the trail
And your aroma becomes self accepted
If at any moment you think about the alternatives you've lived - or will live
that are off trail
And you basque in what the trail has helped you become -
Then maybe you've found the essence of hiker trash.

I thought perhaps I might have been edging toward hiker trash on my thru-hike, but then I realized that by being a purist, I was pretty much forever banned from being true hiker trash.
The closest I can come is knowing that Wolf was willing to share a shot of his Gentleman Jack with me at Tabard House while we were in Hanover. That was an honor, and an outstanding whiskey!
So it has nothing to do with the tee shirt or having a long beard?

Remove all of it except the "not attemptin' to be successful"...and then alter that to something along the lines of "livin' you're life like you live it on the trail, doin' what you see as successful and not what others tell you is a measure of success?" Or something like that, maybe Wolf or Pirate could explain it better or maybe not, it's kinda like when you get asked the question of "why do you hike" and no matter what answer you give...it never feels like it is the way you really want to explain it. Same Deal!

i can never be hiker trash cause i grew up rich and spoiled and i wine and i suck at most things. but i know what they are cause their my friends. they have some things in common but im not sayin its what makes trah trash. only hiker trash may disertate on what is trash. like my art. no one but artists may say what is art. but all are welcome to their opinions. whether were talking trash or art. to try to pin down what is trash as an outsider is wrong. not possible yes, but more than that, wrong. they know who they are. do you need to know who they are? then tough. cause they dont bend to your needs i can tell you that. now, as for the few ive been privlaged to meet, i will now list in order of size of goiter:
jester lwolf wonder mala pirate wee willy janet marsha cammo and one other who my friends say i met but i dont really belive it,....

It fits me. And I was trash long before I was a hiker. Just plain ol' white trash, not good for much of nothin'. Moving up to trail trash was an improvement!
after finishing up a hike, immediately getting off the trail and living in the cheapest possible conditions to save up for the next thru-hike.
Not attempting to be 'successful'
I think that's a pretty good description. I might add that the "hiking community" (whatever that is) is your family.
There's a big element of obsession in there.
But it's really okay just to be a hiker, and not worry about living up to the trash part. I am what I am, and I'd rather just accept that than pose as something I'm not. To me, it's about doing what I want to do. A public image is a result, not a goal.
The harder one tries to become "hiker trash," the less likely it is.
That's all pretty fuzzy, but I know what I mean.

It ain't about what you do for a living, or even how much time you spend on the trail, it's about the way you see and approach life and the trail, as to how to explain it exactly, you can't.
I also say there are varying degrees of trashiness. Guys like Pirate and Wolf are team captains, because of my full time job, etc. I have always seen myself as the kicker or punter of the team:eek:...I'm part of the team and belong...but I'm not on the field most of the time.
My biggest problem as a teacher is all of the people that I work with who assume by my vibe that I must also be a pot smoking hippie as well(teachers don't know the term "hiker trash" and so instead they call me "the hippie teacher")...won't say I've never, but I wouldn't classify myself as one. If I had a buck for every time some asshat in the building asked me if I could get them "some" I'd be retired by now, doing what I want 100% of the time.

HIKER TRASH
There’s a secret tale
Of hikers on the Trail
A society known
As hiker trash
Walk this way
Nobo if you may
Don’t ask
Don’t tell
If you’re hiker trash
They feel
They smell
They sense
One another
They care
They love
they’re humble
and don’t bother
and they know who they are
without identity or cause
because hiker trash
can be your mother
Now go along
continue your journey
cause your hike never ends

Do hiker trash really have homes? I like to think that true hiker trash would live where they would hang a hat...put a request with the post office to deliver mail to their tent. Work to only satisfy basic needs to continue their hike, eat Ramen like a steak dinner and drink pond water like Evian. ;)
If you strive to be trash, you aint.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH-aQMc1x5s&feature=user
...and the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need
...and with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will
But Ill take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And Ill redefine anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars Ive grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one
...and my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will
But Ill take my time anywhere
Im free to speak my mind anywhere
And Ill never mind anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam

I don't think that real hiker trash would require the validation of a third party in order to affirm their hiker trashiness, even if that third party is two babes in a pickup... Though, at the same time, you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.

"Hiker trash" is a term like many other "put downs" for groups that are acceptable from one member of the group to another, yet (rightly) resented when used by an outsider to a member of the group. If Rock called me 'hiker trash', I'd be complimented. If some picnic camper referred to me that way as I walked past I would be, ahem, upset.

I have read on here about hiker trash. What do you have to do to become hiker trash? If you just have to have a shirt made that says HIKER TRASH I could probably make one. Lets say that I become hiker trash what do I have to do then to represent. Just trying to figure stuff out.
I've read all the post to this question and there are some good ones. As usual LW shares some of his trail wisdom with respect to this topic. If someone refers to you as hiker trash, politely thank them or ignore them, regardless of who it comes from. It just means you are hard core and you don't always, or seldom, conform to societies definition to "the norm". Hiking and it's many facets dominate your being. If you are hard core, you will exemplify the characteristics without thinking about them because in your mind they don't exist. But for those who wonder, this may be one: Everyone can smell you except yourself.
Happy hiking. :sun

I have a hiker trash kit that I will gladly sell for 19.95 plus shipping and handling. Guanteed to turn the nicest purist into genuine hiker trash. :You even get a certificate of authenticity. For an extra $12 I will throw in a "kiss me I'm hiker trash" t shirt.

Aw, Weasel, nobody's gonna call you hiker trash, OK?
First off, to achieve that moniker, you have to be seen actually hiking. :D
Sorry, Wolf's on break, somebody had to say it.......
You're a good fill in Jack. Maybe just work on the brevity. :)
What do you call hiker trash that doesn't hike?
Am I forum trash, or just trash?

So when someone claims to be a soldier who isn't, or a soldier claims to be something he isn't (like SF) he gets called a wannabe (and other things).
What do you call a person that wants to be hiker trash but doesn't actually hike?

Re. Post #100, above.
Yes, it's true. His mother didn't call him "Sleepy" and he ain't an Arab.
Helluva hiker, tho.
Are you hiker trash when you splurge for a night in an AMC hut and the other guests get up and leave the table when you sit down?
You might be hiker trash if you eat, drink and brush your teeth in the same cup

The true essence hiker trash, like that of zen, or the neijia and aikido, cannot be expressed in words. Suffice it to say, if you have to ask, you ain't. . . .
But that's OK. :)
aah, the dynamic sphere. it actually adds to the zenness of being hiker trash. but you already know that don't you, mal?:D

http://www.kungfu-guide.com/img-resources/kfdvdpilot.jpg (http://www.kungfu-guide.com/pilotdvd.html)The path to hiker trash, is vague and mystious
it's also fraught with perils, but that's mostly because of the drink.
Geez how many pages of posts do we need about this?
I don't see what the big deal is, carry out your garbage. Pack it in pack it out people!

Woah, so much animosity. Some people need to go out and hike, and take your trash out with you!
