when you enjoy water at about any temperature.
when taking an emptied jug of milk or tomato juice, putting in water, shaking, and drinking to get the extra nutrition/cals and leave no waste. This really disgusts my kids.
when you only buy sardines in oil, cracking open can, drinking juice first so as not to spill any, finish opening can to eat fish. Sop remaining juice with bread. (I now only do this in private).
Can enjoy peanut butter served on anything at anytime.
when you know exactly how many eggs and exactly how long to boil said eggs in a 2 liter pot. Also, can crack, peel and eat an egg with one hand.

1) Will the rest of their life habitually squeeze the air out of a Ziploc bag before sealing it.
2) Will look at scenic hills and automatically think of routes to climb, spots to tent, and possible water sources.
3) Will see a coworker in the workplace wearing new clothes, and compliment them by saying, "Nice suit, Jim! How much does it weigh?"
4) Will see an attrative woman in high-heeled shoes, and no later than your third thought (first 2 thoughts being directed at chest-level) think, "She couldn't get 50' in Mahoosuc Notch with those shoes".
5) Will look avariciously at a flowing roof gutter drainspout.
6) Will find yourself automatically raising your nose at anyone outside wearing cotton, even if you're wearing it, too.
7) You'll be able to glance at someone's calves and tell how fit for hiking they are.
8) Odds are will develop a lifelong hatred for mice and loose dogs.
9) Knows where all 14 states the AT goes through are on a map.
10) Who brings emergency gear for short dayhikes that no one else in his family would.
11) Can drink warm water and think nothing of it.
12) When asked if he wants some food no one else wants, says "Yes! What is it?".
As noted above, I prefer women, myself.![]()

When gear it the pinnacle of human achievement.

You are comfortable sitting in a lanudomat in a poncho because you are washing all your clothes!!
When you've lost all consideration for what your lime green crocs look like in public.
When you see the word "game" or the prefix "mega" your first thoughts are Georgia and Maine.
When you no longer stop walking to take a leak.
When you see a bear and the first thing that runs through your mind is how to get him off your berries.

-You buy several pairs of the same trail runners at the same time: "I like these. Do you have four pairs of them?"
-You sleep on a thermarest at home.
-You refuse to carry a Nalgene bottle EVER because it weighs too much.
You wear socks on your hands to stay warm and see nothing wrong with it.
