Do I hear $4500?

He should do a Kickstarter instead.

(This was said in jest but as I was typing I realized [without actually checking] that someone certainly must have already done one).

Except on Kickstarter you have to, at least, offer something back to the donators. Like, tell them you're gonna write a book and offer free or discounted signed copies. Nobody will actually force you to write a book. Just spend the money on whatever, dumbazzes should of known better. Sound familiar?

Does he come with with a money back guarantee and If he breaks where do you return him for a full refund.

Joey, have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison?

LOL....the temptation to ask him questions is soooo strong!

"Will you carry everything?

Are you into cougars?

Will you make all the treks into town for resupplies?"

No skills and the same price (I think) as an experienced guide who is taking a group out? (I know someone here knows who I'm talking about, but the name escapes me).

Too funny.

lol....keep going!

I sent him questions thru ebay:

Dear mirola87, What experience do you have hiking? What guarantees do I have you will complete the hike? What is to stop you from quitting 4 days into the hike? - richmondhokie89

Here is the response:

Dear richmondhokie89,

Since I'm unemployed my days consist of applying for jobs and walking (or running), and working out twice a day. Gotta make the most of the free time while I have it. I also eat as healthy as I possibly can. I have a lot of experience hiking here where I live (FL). Yes it's flat, but usually I'll go a distance of around 15 miles or so with 30 pounds in my pack. I have hiked for 2 days in the Colorado in Estes Park, and for 70 miles on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia.

I am seeking an adventure away from the material world. This trip would be everything from a religious experience, to a great accomplishment I am passionate about earning while I am young, and have the free time to do so. I am very strong minded and have pushed myself beyond my comfort zone many times to accomplish things. I feel that there is a huge lack of that type of self discipline in the world today and it disgusts me. If there is someone kind enough to go out of there way and rely on me to complete this trail with them, then I will most definitely not let them down. What is your experience?

Do you really think there's a market for AT coaches? Maybe someone who could hep you get set up with the proper gear, put you on a training program and then hike a week or two with you to get you started?

Warren Doyle does something similar.

[Slo-go'en]

Maybe we could start a collection and sponcer this dude just for the fun and entertainment it would provide. All we would need is 450 WB members to donate $10 each and we could own this guy

Who would be the poor sucker to be "Stuck" with him.......the last person to donate gets stuck - would encourage fast donations......

Even better? Lowest DONATION gets stuck with him! Retired military are exempt. Not it.

That's funny but you know, it may be true.

Warren Doyle does something similar.

Hey, I'd buy Warren Doyle if he had a Buy It Now Price ! I'd also buy a dozen of his fancy tarp-like printed contra dancin shirts too !

[LDog]

He could be an AT sherpa! I'll send him a Q. asking if he can carry a giant blue plastic barrell on his head.

I think we all ought to ask him the questions we're dying to ask ... (Heh, heh!)
