Or you could just carry a normal form of ID..... NAHHHHHHH dogtags are alot cooler
my dog had a secondary tag on her collar, that said her name, my name(including my trail name) a phone #
and it also said we were hiking the appalachian trail(so they knew we were hiking together) and yes we had a leash(you never know)
if you like it-go with it :-)
Is it protocol on the AT to place one tag in the victim's mouth and the other in your own left shirt pocket?
thanks for the info Tramp-I got my gal to wear one - i reckon that makes her my bi..h!
Just kidding, how heavy are they?
thay were such good people & such fast service i had to say something for them.and only $12! $11 for tags silencers $ chain and $1 for the p-38 can opener. wont use it much but there just cool so i got another one.

Great idea! You might even get your camera back if you lay it down somewhere.
I think always having ID on your person is a wise idea.
If you don't live in the south, you might take care there to enunciate when discussing this topic. As in " You got any I.D.? ", and the response too often will be " 'bout what? " ;)
Okay, that off my chest ... I'm with jj2044 here. It seems to me that the drivers license I carry is sufficient. Certainly some sort of identification in the backpack is a good idea too.
Dog tags made practical sense in the service; I'm not inclined to wear something like that now. Exception might be going for a run in clothes without pockets, but that doesn't apply to hiking scenarios.
