    Default Chest pain, blurred vision

    I've been experiencing crushing chest pain, blurred vision, incoherent speech, and uncontrollable diarrhea. Do you think I should switch to trail runners?

    Sure. They're easier for rescue crews to get off.

    No you're fine just start staying in shelters and quit using trekking poles.
    If you don't make waves, it means you ain't paddling

    Actually you're carrying too much weight and that's causing the problem. Anyone carrying a base weight over 5 pounds will experience the same symptoms.

    I've experienced all those symptoms at the same time except for the uncontrollable diarrhea - usually when hiking "dry" and shooting for the next water source to "camel-up". The later symptom of soiling myself usually occurs when I get to a dry water source . This is then followed by uncontrollable weeping. In my case the trail runners were not the solution.

    Your shoes aren't the problem -- you're obviously using the wrong guidebook.

    It’s because you are carrying a pack, the human body was not designed for a big weight on it’s back. Next time you go out backpacking (I guess you will have to call it something else) just fill the pockets of your pants and enjoy the freedom.

    You know those canned burgers may be good, but I’m in no hurry to find out.

    Unfortunately, you may have to pack along a few pair of 'Depends' adult diapers.

    Guess we need not imagine too far where this sage advice comes from.

    You need to take a weekend off. Veg out, watch the Stupor Bowl, and be sure to root for the Patriots! You'll be fine by Monday.
