None of the above. If it's a secret, you can't let anybody know.

Gang Style Hand Gesture
Ask passing hiker, "Did I hear some whining?" WB member answers, "No Sniveling!"
I'm just gonna run naked up the trail screaming, "I love WhiteBlaze. I love WhiteBlaze."

Remember this - - Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funerals.
Just pass gas as they are approaching or just passing. They will immediately realize you are a another WB member. (Completely full of hot air.)

I think that a white ribbon would work but after some time on the tail I do not think that the white ribbon would be white anymore.
What about painting a small spot on a trekking pole or a sticker? It would be pretty easy to spot.
A good friend will bail you out of jail but a great friend will be sitting beside you saying "Man that was fun!"
I usaully mistake WBers as thru hikers, cuz they hike smarter (small packs, etc). Not that thru hikers are smart.

But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute--and it's longer than any hour.
That's relativity." --Albert Einstein--
How about when we approach another hiker, we stop and do our best neo pose. Everyone on WB should reconize that.
How about asking "Are you Minnesota Smith?"
Well we already have our signs all along the length of the trail. Talk about mass advertising. We didn't even have to put them up ourselves.

“How do we recognize one and other on the trail? ... We need something special. A handshake, code word, dance, eye twitch.”
Why don’t we begin to wear clothes while hiking. Well, most of us anyway, most of the time.

Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

Keep it simple. A white something somewhere. No dances, no gestures, no intentional farting, no tatoos. Heck if we're not careful we could end up with someone else's secret whatever and be mistaken for KKK or Trustifarians or whatnot.......

What about the hiker trailing TP stuck to the botton of their shoe?
I would much rather be anywhere on a trail right now
than just sitting in front of some computer reading about it.
How 'bout we moon one another... That ought to be a dead giveaway for WBers, as it's about as civil as some of the threads on here..
Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you've got his shoes.
Based on the interest this website has with MS, I suggest that when you spot another hiker you immediately take a whiz on the trail. The other hiker, if a WB member, will reply with a fart in your face. Conversation shall then begin.
I'll pass on that one.

putting a white strip on your pole sounds to be the best choice
